Andy Murray issues media plea to help Emma Raducanu as Wimbledon approaches

British veteran Andy Murray has urged the media to go easy on Emma Raducanu as the prospect hopes to make her second appearance at Wimbledon later this month.

Raducanu, 19, is in a race to be fit for Wimbledon 's start on June 27 when she'll target a happy return to SW19, where she made her Grand Slam debut last year. The teenager has been the subject of major media attention since she burst onto the scene with her U.S. Open title win in 2021.

And the more wizened Murray, 35, offered an empathetic plea to the press, urging onlookers to "just let her [Raducanu] be who she is." Having had to deal with his own share of scrutiny down the years, the Scot is a learned figure when it comes to media management.
