That\u2019s definitely the last thing I want. I really wanted to smooth things over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She further emphasised how much she has always admired Murray, explaining that she felt the need to take the initiative to clear the air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up, he was one of my idols, and he still is, with everything he\u2019s achieved in the game. It didn\u2019t feel right, so I texted him, and he replied with a really nice message. So I\u2019m glad I did that, and I just hope he doesn\u2019t hate me too much!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 2 []\">Judy Murray\u2019s \u2018Astounding\u2019 Reaction<\/h3>\n<p>At the time, Judy Murray expressed her frustration at Raducanu\u2019s withdrawal, calling it \u201castounding\u201d as it disrupted her son\u2019s farewell at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>The decision had sparked debate among fans and pundits, with some arguing that Raducanu had every right to prioritise her health, while others believed she should have honoured the commitment.<\/p>\n<h3>Murray\u2019s Retirement and Coaching Role<\/h3>\n<p>Andy Murray has since retired from professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/betting-sites\/tennis\/\">tennis<\/a> after a final appearance at the Olympics in Paris, where he reached the quarter-finals alongside Dan Evans.<\/p>\n<p>However, he remains involved in the sport and has taken on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/novak-djokovic-andy-murray-partnership-pr-stunt\/\">coaching role with Novak Djokovic<\/a>, further cementing his legacy in the tennis world.<\/p>\n<h3>Raducanu\u2019s Strong Start at the Australian Open<\/h3>\n<p>Now, Raducanu has been making headlines for the right reasons at the Australian Open. She recently secured an impressive victory over Amanda Anisimova, advancing to the third round of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/who-has-won-the-most-grand-slams-titles-in-tennis-history\/\">Grand Slam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Following her win, she encountered Murray in Melbourne and was pleased to receive his support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw Andy today. I haven\u2019t seen him, actually, since \u2013 and he said, \u2018Well done\u2019 and congratulated me. That was really nice. He\u2019s someone that I look up to a lot.
