Raducanu, who has made it to the fourth round of the singles competition, shared her decision via the Lawn Tennis Association's social media account, stating, 'Unfortunately, I woke up with some stiffness in my right wrist. Therefore, I have decided to make the very tough decision to withdraw from the mixed doubles tonight. I'm disappointed as I was really looking forward to playing with Andy but got to take care.'
