In an event in the second round of the 2025 Australian Open women's singles that ended on the 16th local time, the British 22-year-old female player Raducanu defeated the American ace Anisimova in straight sets 6-4, 7-5 and advanced to the third round of the women's singles. Raducanu admitted in an interview that he withdrew from the Wimbledon mixed doubles tournament last year due to wrist discomfort, and was once worried about having a "dislike" with the famous Murray.

Raducanu

At the 2024 Wimbledon mixed doubles event, Raducanu abruptly withdrew from the mixed doubles event with Murray on the grounds of wrist discomfort, which caused Murray to miss the last chance to play Wimbledon tennis tournaments, and Raducanu continued to participate in singles, which caused controversy.

Raducanu responded to this after the game on the same day, "I sent him [Murray] a long message afterwards, basically apologizing for any trouble I might have caused at Wimbledon, which is definitely the last thing I want to happen. ”

"I've respected him since I was a child, and I don't want to have any dislike or unpleasant feelings with him." Raducanu said Murray also replied at the time that he was disappointed, but he could understand, "We're fine now, we say 'hello' and 'well done' when we meet, and obviously, it's really cool that he's here with Djokovic." ”

Murray has been coaching former rival Novak Djokovic since this year after announcing the end of his playing career last year, and this Australian Open will be the first Grand Slam match between the two men.

In addition, this is the first time in Raducanu's career at the Australian Open that she has reached the last 32 of the Women's Singles, where she will face world No. 2 Swiatek in her next match.
