The Scottish tennis coach has come in for heavy criticism over that tweet but she won't stand for it.
Fired-up Judy Murray claims her critics don't understand "sarcasm" after appearing to dig out Emma Raducanu for pulling out of a mixed doubles farewell to her son Andy.
The Scottish tennis coach has come in for heavy criticism over the past day since she replied 'Yes, astonishing' to a tweet from dumbfounded commentator Marcus Buckland over the former US Open's champion call to cancel and deny the Scottish tennis icon one final appearance at SW19.
But Judy, breaking her silence on Sunday morning, is asking what the fuss is all about by merely claiming she was being sarcastic and understanding Raducanu featuring in the Wimbledon main event Saturday slot before playing singles on the Sunday is an understandable reason to reconsider her obligations to compete with her son.
Judy, writing on her X account which has been shut off to non-followers, wrote: "Not sure anyone understands sarcasm these days. Pretty sure the scheduling will have played a major part in any decision making." Some fans aren't buying it and are pointing to the Instagram post which used Williams' quote. Raducanu is due back out on centre court today where she will take on Lulu Sun as she seeks her first appearance in a major quarter final since leaving the competition on their knees at Flushing Meadows three years ago.
