Emma Raducanu faces Welsh wildcard Mimi Xu in the first round of Wimbledon next week and could be in for a shock.

Four summers ago, Emma Raducanu was the British teenager aiming to become Wimbledon champion. This summer, she will be trying to stop a British teenager at the first hurdle: Mingge Xu. This year’s Wimbledon draw paired Raducanu, 22, with Xu, 17, in the first round, as Raducanu begins her latest bid to add to her 2021 US Open triumph.

As he attempts to make his first deep run at Wimbledon, British No 1 Jack Draper has landed a horror draw that only looks worse the more you stare at it.
