Having rushed back to this Wimbledon 2024, which he had written off last Thursday by missing the last step in qualifying, David Goffin (world number 83) did not have the best of nights on Monday. It was only this Tuesday morning, at around 10:20 (local time), that the Liège native became the only person on site to benefit from Andy Murray’s withdrawal. The Scot, not yet recovered from his last operation (cyst) on his spine ten days ago, will have to settle for the doubles, with his brother Jamie, to bid farewell, at 37, to the Grand Slam that he left his mark on by winning in 2013 (77 years after the last Briton, Fred Perry) and in 2016.
