Wimbledon 2024 LIVE: Tennis scores as Fearnley faces Djokovic and Boulter battles Dart before Andy Murray’s return

Wimbledon: Emma Raducanu on why she ‘couldn’t say no’ to playing mixed doubles with Andy Murray

Andy Murray headlines today’s Wimbledon action when he begins his men’s doubles quest alongside brother Jamie in a busy day four schedule at the championships.

Scheduled to play the final match on Centre Court today, Murray begins his Wimbledon swan song following surgery to remove a spinal cyst last month. He pulled out of the men’s singles on Tuesday preferring instead to focus on the doubles where he will also feature alongside Emma Raducanu in the mixed event. The Murrays take on Australian pair Rinky Hijikata and John Peers, while five other British players feature across the two main show courts.

British wildcard Jacob Fearnley will have his moment on Centre Court, too, taking on Novak Djokovic first up. While Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart go toe-to-toe in an all-British second round clash in the women’s singles and Jack Draper’s reward for winning a thriller against Elias Ymer is a second round tie versus against former British No 1 and Wimbledon semi-finalist Cameron Norrie.

Wimbeldon 2024: *Boulter 4-3 Dart

All of a sudden, Boulter has a bit of a lead on Court One. She breaks Dart’s serve before racing into the 40-0 lead in her service game, with Dart eventually looping a shot long from Boulter’s serve to make it 4-2.

Dart fights back in the seventh game though, getting a 30-15 lead before Boulter crashes a shot against the net for 40-15.

Dart’s next serve is a good one, forcing Boulter to play the looping return over and setting her up for an easy volley across the British number one., for 4-3.

Wimbledon 2024: Jacob Fearnley 1-1 Novak Djokovic*

A confident start from Djokovic as he holds with a backhand winner down the line. Fearnley is already finding out the Serbian’s ability to open up the court and find angles. He seemed taken aback by the first Djokovic forehand that sent him running out wide.

But Fearnley holds to love as Djokovic sends three returns long of the baseline – and then the wildcard sends down an ace to take the game! That should settle some nerves.

Wimbledon 2024: Jacob Fearnley vs Novak Djokovic

We’re almost ready to go on Centre Court as Jacob Fearnley takes on Novak Djokovic, in the match of the 22-year-old’s life. There are a few Scotland shirts on Centre Court, with the Edinburgh player in action before the Murray brothers.

Now comes the challenge of facing the greatest of all time. “Yeah, it’s going to be a little bit intimidating, but it’s a match that I’m super excited for,” Fearnley said a couple of days ago. “It’s the biggest match of my career so far. Just to be able to share the court with a player like that will be really special.

“I’ve watched so many videos of him. It doesn’t look like there’s many flaws in his game. I’m going to just try and enjoy it, put my game out on the court and see what happens. I don’t think there’s many tactics going into the match.”

Wimbledon 2024: Boulter 2-2* Dart

Boulter makes a strange decision, with both players at the net, to just nudge the ball over towards Dart, and the latter returns with an easy lob to take advtange.

Boulter is lucky though, as Dart hits the next point into the net. Dart goes long on the next shot and Boulter has the chance to hold serve…

But she goes long again! The sixth deuce.

The British number one holds serve as she forces Dart into two mistakes, and we’re level.

Wimbledon 2024: Boulter 1-2 Dart

Another close game ends in a couple of deuces after Boulter comes from 30-0 behind to level it.

A couple of sloppy shots and missed first serves leaves us at deuce once more, before a lovely disguised backhand from Boulter gives her the advantage. She hits the net again though, and it’s deuce once more.
