Wimbledon Open: Raducanu To Face Teenager Xu In First Round

By
Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu has been drawn against teenage wildcard Mimi Xu in an eye-catching all-British first-round match at Wimbledon.

British number one Raducanu, ranked 38th in the world, fell just short of a seeding for the championships and has been handed a difficult-looking draw.

World number four Jack Draper, who starts against Argentina’s 38th-ranked Sebastian Baez, also faces a daunting path to the latter stages.

Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, bidding for a standalone record 25th major singles title, is a potential quarter-final opponent for Draper.

British qualifier Oliver Tarvet, who cannot claim prize money as he is still a college player in the United States, could meet defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the second round.

Raducanu and Draper lead a total of 23 British players in the singles draws – the highest amount since 1984.

The grass-court Grand Slam begins at the All England Club on Monday.

Emma Raducanu’s parents’ boyfriend ban and Carlos Alcaraz’s difficult girlfriend situation

Emma Raducanu’s parents’ boyfriend ban and Carlos Alcaraz’s difficult girlfriend situation

Life as a top tennis player may appear luxurious, but the demanding lifestyle can come at a significant cost. Achieving success on the international stage requires more than talent – it takes an incredible amount of time and dedication to training.

As a result, elite tennis players face challenges in their private lives, sacrificing leisure activities and precious time with loved ones, while forging romantic connections can also prove difficult – something that Emma Raducanu, Carlos Alcaraz and Andy Murray know all too well.

‌During an interview with The Sunday Times last year, Alcaraz acknowledged the pressures of maintaining a love life, saying: “I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are travelling all the time.”

Just a year earlier, he told Vogue: “It’s complicated, never staying in one place. It’s hard to find the person who can share things with you if you’re always in different parts of the world.”

Whether Alcaraz’s personal circumstances have since shifted remains to be seen, but the tennis pro has yet to go public with a relationship. British sensation Raducanu, meanwhile, told The Times about a boyfriend ban in her household during her formative years as a player.

She said: “My parents were very much against [boyfriends] as it interfered with training. When I was younger, I wasn’t even allowed to hang out with my girl friends. A lot of the time I was very resentful, but it made me very confident and comfortable in my own company.”

Emma Raducanu

After reaching adulthood, Raducanu went public with her relationship with Carlo Agostinelli in 2023. Sadly, insiders told The Sun the next year that they had split and that the relationship had “run its course”.

Even tennis veterans like Murray can recount the clash between professional life and personal affairs. Murray recently told GQ about the effect his career had on his honeymoon with Kim Sears after their 2015 wedding. He said: “When we got married, our honeymoon was in Barcelona, and I was doing a training block.

“Essentially, we got to spend a couple of nights with each other, but I was practising during the day, training and going to the gym and doing all my physio work. [A honeymoon] is very important for most couples.

“Maybe for her it was too, but she was willing to sacrifice that to allow me to chase my goals. She’s super important to everything I achieved, so now I’m trying my best to make up for all that.”

He added: “She’s been a huge support and a massive, massive part of my career. When you’re playing, you don’t always appreciate that. I think a lot of individual athletes – me included – would be selfish at times. You think a lot about yourself and your own performance, and your mood is reflective of whether you’ve had a good match. Say, I won. I’m in a good mood. I lost, I’m in a bad mood.

“It’s not really fair on the people around you. But even at the end, when I was struggling physically and was not winning many matches, and we had young children, Kim was always so supportive of me continuing to play because she knew I loved the sport and loved playing.”

Emma Raducanu Dodges Equal Pay Debate: “I’m Never Really Going to Take a Stand”

By
Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu explained why she will never “take a stand” on equal pay in tennis.

Like most sports, tennis has a long history of trailblazers who fought for equality. When it comes to the gender pay gap in tennis, do not expect Emma Raducanu to join the cause.

During a press conference in London this week, Raducanu gave a quote to Sky Sports reporter Jacquie Beltrao, which resulted in backlash for the 22-year-old.

 “There is obviously a big difference [in prize money], and I’m sure a lot of players will kind of say their piece on it, but I just prefer not to get involved, and just whatever the situation is, I’ll kind of roll with it, but I’m never really going to take a stand either way.”

Raducanu continued, “I don’t really get involved or kind of stay in the loop with all the boards and all the decisions and stuff. I kind of just get on with it and I don’t feel like I really am playing for money.

“Of course, I need to sustain my team, which is extremely expensive, and you know… with my kind of profile, coaches and team members kind of see that. So it is a very expensive sport, but it’s not my main motivator of why I play.”

Raducanu is reportedly worth around £10m and was the sixth-highest-paid women’s tennis player in 2024. However, most of Raducanu’s income came from her diverse sponsorship portfolio.

Earlier this spring, the Daily Mail reported Raducanu lost her biggest sponsor, a $3 million annual deal with Vodafone, after “demanding too much money.”

Vodafone was Raducanu’s most lucrative sponsor, ahead of the $2 million annual deals with Dior and Tiffany and Co., and far more than Raducanu’s $100,000 yearly deals with sportswear companies Nike and Wilson.

Emma Raducanu

So, Raducanu will fight for her sponsorship deals but refuses to take a stand on equal pay in tennis. Prize money is equal at the Grand Slams and some joint tour events, but generally, women’s players on the WTA Tour make far less than the men’s ATP Tour.

Raducanu has only won one title on the WTA tour — the 2021 US Open. Since then, the British tennis star has dealt with a slew of injuries and a revolving door of coaches.

So far, 2025 has been the best year of Raducanu’s career since her breakout season in 2021. She has made two quarterfinals appearances and is the World No. 36 with a record of 15-12.

This season has not been without its challenges. Raducanu underwent a traumatic ordeal with a “fixated fan” earlier this year and shook up her coaching staff the night before the Miami Open after a failed two-week trial.

Raducanu is currently dealing with a back injury and pulled out of the Berlin Open. However, she is still expected to compete at Wimbledon later this month.

Raducanu stalker tried to apply for Wimbledon tickets

By
Emma Raducanu

The man who was given a restraining order for stalking British tennis player Emma Raducanu earlier this year has been caught trying to apply for tickets for this month’s Wimbledon Championships.

BBC Sport can reveal the All England Club’s security system highlighted the man’s name had been red-flagged, and blocked his attempt to enter the public ballot.

British number one Raducanu was left in tears after seeing a man who had followed her to four successive tournaments in the stands during a match at the Dubai Tennis Championships in February.

The man, who was removed, had given Raducanu, 22, a letter and asked for a photo in a coffee shop the previous day.

He was given a restraining order by Dubai police and his name was circulated around tennis authorities.

What happened in Dubai?

Raducanu was approached by the man near the player hotel in Dubai the day before her second-round match with Karolina Muchova.

He gave her a letter and took her photo, which unnerved Raducanu, who had been aware of his presence at tournaments in Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Doha in preceding weeks.

Although she reported it to a member of her team, the information was not passed on to the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) or the tournament until the following day.

The Briton hid behind the umpire’s chair two games into her defeat when she spotted him in the crowd.

The man who “exhibited fixated behaviour” was removed from the stands and detained by local police.

Speaking after the incident, Raducanu told reporters: “I saw him in the first game of the match and I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to finish’.

“I literally couldn’t see the ball through tears. I could barely breathe.

“I was like, ‘I need to just take a breather’.”

‘I’m always with someone and always being watched’

Raducanu shot to worldwide fame when she won the US Open as an 18-year-old in 2021.

She told BBC Sport soon after the incident in Dubai that it “could have been dealt with better” but that lessons have been learned.

“Since that incident I have definitely got increased attention and greater security,” the 22-year-old said.

“I’m always now very aware and not necessarily doing things on my own any more.

“I’m always with someone and always being watched.”

Raducanu has previously been the victim of a stalker, with another man given a five-year restraining order in 2022 after he walked 23 miles to her home.

Players ‘should have confidence’ in security

Sally Bolton, chief executive of All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) said they spend a lot of time on ensuring security measures are tight at Wimbledon.

“We’re liaising with the tours, with the Met Police, with other security agencies right through the year to think about the types of risks we need to look at and adjusting what we put in place.

Emma Raducanu

“I would say to them [players] they should have confidence when they’re here and if they are concerned on any basis they should come and talk to us about that because we can put bespoke arrangements in place.”

What security steps are in place at SW19?

While Wimbledon bosses have confidence in their security provisions, which are reviewed annually, the issue has come into sharper focus this year.

It is estimated that around 1,000 people work in the field of security to some extent across the Championships.

In addition to the screening around the ballot, there are also more checks and balances when it comes to those in the queue.

Anyone gaining entry to the Championships that way will have to be registered with Wimbledon – meaning they’ve had to provide personal information.

In the grounds, as well as police and military personnel, there are other discreet members of the security team.

A team of fixated threat specialists are hired in and can assist the player escort team.

There are also behavioural experts who are trained to spot people acting strangely.

There is significant CCTV coverage on site, and if there are concerns around a particular player then a specific CCTV sweep will be done of the seats near to the player and their box.

On court, protection officers are positioned near the players, with more on Centre Court and No.1 Court.

If something spontaneous happens on site, there are response teams walking round the grounds who can come and support staff.

Security teams are also in regular contact with the referees’ office to discuss issues like scheduling.

Raducanu outclassed by Zheng at Queen’s

By
Emma Raducanu

Britain’s Emma Raducanu was outclassed by world number five Zheng Qinwen in the quarter-finals at Queen’s.

Raducanu showed flashes of her quality but ultimately fell 6-2 6-4 to the Olympic champion in front of a packed crowd.

The 22-year-old took a medical timeout after the first set, having struggled with back spasms over the past few months.

She started the better in the second set and led by a double break but could not keep the big-hitting Zheng at bay.

“I’ve played five matches in a pretty short amount of time,” Raducanu, who also played two doubles matches alongside Katie Boulter at Queen’s, told BBC Sport.

“I’m probably feeling that, so I need to let the back rest and see how it goes from there.

“I’m not overly concerned that it’s something serious, but I know it’s something that’s very annoying and needs proper and careful management.”

Raducanu was given a true physical test by Zheng, but it was another defeat that showed the gap between the British number one and the world’s very best.

China’s Zheng will face Amanda Anisimova in Saturday’s semi-final after the American beat third seed Emma Navarro 6-3 6-3.

Qualifier Tatjana Maria earlier stunned former Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina to set up a semi-final meeting with Australian Open champion Madison Keys.

Maria, 37, beat Rybakina 6-4 7-6 (7-4), while Keys fought back to see off Russia’s Diana Shnaider 2-6 6-3 6-4.

‘I need to raise my level to challenge the best’

There was reason for Raducanu to be confident against Zheng, who is still finding her feet on the grass court and has a serve that can waver when under pressure.

World number 37 Raducanu had also made relatively serene progress through her first two matches, dropping just eight games across four sets.

But, as Raducanu found against Iga Swiatek in Melbourne and Paris, and Coco Gauff in Italy, there is a different, consistent level needed to beat the players for who winning is a habit.

In an edgy start, Raducanu put pressure on Zheng’s serve while saving break points in her own games.

But Zheng broke through at the seventh attempt, a blistering backhand down the line silencing the crowd, who had earlier voiced their displeasure after Zheng had to change her shoes midway through the game.

Raducanu kept up the pressure, creating an immediate break-back opportunity, but Zheng’s huge groundstrokes kept her at bay, and a rushed forehand into the net handed the top seed the first set.

Raducanu left court for a medical timeout on her back but took advantage as Zheng’s first serve all but disappeared on her return.

With the wind picking up, Raducanu produced a series of ruthless returns to Zheng’s second serve and quickly found herself 3-0 up.

But Zheng wrestled a break back and upped her intensity when needed, creeping forward to attack Raducanu’s serve. A double fault handed Zheng the break back and she reeled off four games in a row to close out the match.

“I’ve improved a lot and done a lot good work behind the scenes but there’s a lot to go to get to the next level,” Raducanu said.

“They are stronger than me and had more time training – I need to do the same. I need to raise my level.”

Raducanu is scheduled to compete at the grass-court event in Berlin next week but said she would consult with her team before making any decisions.

‘Super proud’ Maria stuns Rybakina

Earlier, world number 86 Maria used her slice-heavy style of play to outfox 11th-ranked Rybakina.

Maria broke the Kazakh for the first time in the competition on her way to taking the first set, before the pair traded early breaks in the second.

Former Wimbledon semi-finalist Maria was unable to serve out the match at 5-4 but showed no signs of nerves in the tie-break to cement her place in the last four.

Maria, who took two breaks from the tour to have her two daughters, told the crowd: “It’s a perfect example to never give up and to always keep going.

“I’m super proud and I hope in a few years you will see my eldest daughter in the same stage here!”

The German will now face Keys, who battled back from a messy first set to beat rising talent Shnaider.

A below-par Keys succumbed to the clean ball-striking of Shnaider, who broke serve twice on her way to taking the opening set.

But back came the American, who made 12 unforced errors in the opening set, as she upped her level considerably, with a sole break enough to wrap up the decider.

Emma Raducanu breaks little-known rule in defeat as boos ring out at Queen’s

By
Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu’s productive week at Wimbledon ended with boos for her Chinese opponent Qinwen Zheng.

The 2021 US Open champion won her first doubles match alongside fellow Brit Katie Boulter at Queen’s – and then leapfrogged her in the rankings.

With a win over Rebecca Sramkova, Raducanu moved to 35th in the women’s rankings, regaining her spot as Britain’s No.1 for the first time in over two years.

Yet she then exited at the quarter-finals with a 6-2, 6-4 defeat to Zheng, who got on the crowd’s nerves.

During the first set Zheng went 3-2 up, but then experienced multiple slips and took a time out to change her shoes.

However, the switch of equipment started dragging on as she changed her orthotics over, and the London crowd got restless with a smattering of boos.

Raducanu also seemed to be getting bored, and kept herself warmed up by smashing a practice serve down the court.

Emma Raducanu

However, USTA and ITP rules state that practice serves are only allowed during the warm up before the match.

BBC commentator – and former WTA star – Annabel Croft was quick to point that out.

Croft said: “I don’t know if Raducanu is meant to hit a ball like that.

“She’s just practiced a serve and normally you’re not meant to do that!”

The umpire was uninterested in the breach, and Zheng would apologise and get back to business.

Zheng proceeded to win every game for a 6-2 first set win, before a less comfortable 6-4 to seal her place in the last-four.

Queen’s or the HSBC Championships as it’s become known due to sponsorship reasons, has welcomed back women’s singles in 2025 for the first time since 1973.

The west London event is seen as a prelude to Wimbledon which runs from June 30 to July 13.

Raducanu impressed at last year’s tournament, progressing to the fourth round after taking down then-world No.9 Maria Sakkari.

She was the last British player left in the tournament and was looking to better her 2021 fourth round finish.

But she couldn’t get to the quarter-finals as surprise package Lulu Sun knocked her out.

The 22-year-old still appears to be on the comeback trail, though, recording her best finishes at the Australian Open and French Open this year after periods of injury hell.

Emma Raducanu Confronts Stalking Trauma: Triumphs on Miami Open Battlefield

By
Emma Raducanu 

Emma Raducanu, the rising tennis star, has bravely spoken out about a terrifying stalking incident that shook her to the core. The incident occurred during her match at the 2025 Dubai Championships, where she suddenly stopped playing and pointed out her stalker in the crowd. This unsettling encounter marked the third consecutive tournament where the man had followed her, causing immense distress to the young athlete.

Despite the ordeal, Raducanu decided to drop charges against the stalker after he was issued a restraining order, hoping that he would respect the boundaries set. In a recent interview with the BBC before her appearance at the 2025 Queen’s Club Championships, Raducanu revealed the emotional toll the stalking had on her, especially coming right after her coach had left.

Acknowledging the need for caution, Raducanu expressed her wariness when going out now, determined to avoid a similar situation in the future. She emphasized the importance of being vigilant and not taking personal safety for granted, a lesson learned through a harrowing experience.

Despite the challenges she faced, Raducanu remains resilient and focused on her tennis career. With the support of her current team, including coaches Mark Petchey and former coach Nick Cavaday, she is gearing up for the upcoming grass-court season. While some speculate about the necessity of a new permanent coach, Raducanu is content with her current setup and is eager to put the past behind her.

The 22-year-old’s exceptional performance at the 2025 Miami Open showcased her talent and determination, proving that she is a force to be reckoned with on the court. As she heads into the grass-court season, Raducanu’s fans are hopeful for more remarkable achievements, especially on home soil where her playing style thrives.

With her sights set on Wimbledon and other prestigious tournaments, Raducanu’s journey is one filled with resilience, courage, and a relentless pursuit of success. As she continues to inspire fans and fellow athletes alike, the tennis world eagerly anticipates her next moves on the court.

Bad New:Emma Raducanu vs. Cristina Bucsa – prediction, form, head-to-head

By
Emma Raducanu and Cristina Bucsa

Emma Raducanu returns to competitive singles action for the first time since exiting at the French Open in Tuesday’s first-round contest against Cristina Bucsa at the Queen’s Club Championships.

The Brit, swatted aside by Iga Swiatek in Paris, seeks a return to winning ways against the Spanish woman who came through qualifying to reach the main draw in West Kensington.

After an encouraging clay-court season in which Raducanu reached the second round in Madrid, fourth round in Rome and advanced to another second round at Roland Garros, she heads to the grass courts of Queen’s, aiming to have a positive run in her home tournament.

The 22-year-old could benefit from many of the WTA Tour’s leading players’ absence in West Kensington, as she strives for another encouraging period leading into this year’s Wimbledon.

The one-time Grand Slam champion had a positive preparation 12 months ago before the Championships, reaching the semi-finals in Nottingham before losing to Katie Boulter and progressing to the quarters in Eastbourne before falling to Daria Kasatkina.

Both tournaments were pivotal to the former world No. 10’s run to the fourth round at the Championships, equalling her 2021 performance, and the Bromley resident hopes to have a deep run in Queen’s to carry much-needed confidence into the third Grand Slam of 2025.

Entering Tuesday’s contest with Bucsa at 13-11 for the season, Raducanu, who had a 7-3 record on grass in 2024, aims to record a first victory on the surface this season.

The home player’s opponent needed to come through qualifying to advance to the first edition of the women’s event at the Queen’s Club since 1973.

Having defeated Alice Gillan in just one hour, the 27-year-old needed a decider to outlast Yuriko Miyazaki 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 after two hours and 11 minutes.

That was the world No. 112’s 15th victory of 2025, including results in qualifying, and the former No. 56 in the world seeks a 16th at the expense of another British opponent.

The Spanish player’s recent victories means she enters a second meeting with Raducanu at 4-4 in the last year on grass, a mixed return for the 27-year-old, who hopes for much-improved preparation for Wimbledon this year after an early exit in Nottingham 12 months ago, which preceded her failure to make it through qualifying in Eastbourne soon after.

Head To Head

Singapore (2025) – Round of 32: Bucsa 5-7 7-5 7-5

Bucsa and Raducanu meet for the second time this season, with the Spanish player leading 1-0 in their head-to-head.

The 27-year-old needed a fightback in Singapore to overturn losing the opening set against the Brit before taking tight second and third sets for the victory.

Raducanu’s results have improved since that January defeat, and the 22-year-old, who has risen 19 places since that loss, aims to avenge that disappointment.

We say: Raducanu to win in two sets

Not only have Raducanu’s results been better since falling to Bucsa in January, but the British star also has the advantage of playing on home soil.

Having played commendably on grass last year, the former Grand Slam champion will hope to get off to a strong start at the Queen’s Club on Tuesday, and we are backing the home player for a straightforward victory.

Emma Raducanu’s ‘jealousy’ over with her tennis rivals all in agreement

By
Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu is part of the star-studded line-up at the WTA Queen’s Tournament this summer, with the event returning to London for the first time since 1973, putting to bed any ATP jealousy

Emma Raducanu has admitted to being a little jealous of the ATP Tour for being able to play at the Queen’s Club. After a long hiatus, the WTA Tour has triumphantly returned to the West Kensington venue for the first time since 1973.

The Queen’s Club is already known for its highly regarded men’s tournament – a consistent winner of the best ATP 500 accolade – and now female players are eagerly seizing their chance to shine. Raducanu joins the likes of Australian Open winner Madison Keys and Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen on the fabled grass courts, who have previously shared their envy at the ATP players’ chances to compete at the venue.

Keys found it too tempting to resist the WTA 500 at Queen’s, especially given that her friend and ex-tennis pro Laura Robson is leading the event as tournament director. She admitted to pangs of jealousy each time her ATP friends played the west London leg of the tour.

She said: “Obviously, when Laura asked for me to play the tournament, it was a pretty quick yes. I’m happy to be here, and I’ve always loved the grass swing, so to start here for the first time in many, many years is really fun.”

She added: “I’ve always heard amazing things about the tournament and I’ve always been pretty jealous because the guys just rave about how great it is here and they love playing here. So, I’m really looking forward to being able to play here.”

Zheng, meanwhile, also admitted that her grass-court experience is limited, and that she has never made it to a quarter-final on the surface. Yet, the world No. 5 couldn’t resist joining the historic first women’s event at Queen’s Club as the WTA Tour graces its lawns.

The Chinese sensation said: “I watched the men’s event Queens and I’m really happy. The first time for the women, in my generation, that we can play in Queen’s in such a special club.

“It’s amazing for us that we can start first and we have the experience to play on such beautiful grass. I think it’s a very classic, old, traditional place, and it’s a special club because you have all the neighbourhood around, which is an amazing design from a long, long time ago.”

Donna Vekic, a grass-court aficionado who stormed into the Wimbledon semi-finals last year, has also always dreamt of the ladies taking centre stage at the iconic venue. The Croatian ace said: “It’s very historical and this club, when I watch the men’s tournament, it’s always amazing and I always wished that we had a chance to play and now we do, so I’m very excited to be playing here.”

But perhaps no one is more thrilled than Britain’s own tennis stars, who’ve grown up with eyes glued to the ATP event and are now set to dazzle their home crowd at this esteemed tournament. Raducanu couldn’t help but reveal a touch of envy towards ATP players in the past, admitting with a smile: “A little bit, healthy. But it was great seeing the guys play here, of course.

Emma Raducanu 

“When I was young, I came here with my dad. I was like hunting the brownies on the ground and not so interested in the tennis. But now to be back here and competing is a different feel for sure.

“It’s kind of interesting how it feels because you’re at home, you don’t necessarily feel like you’re playing a tournament or a match tomorrow. But I think it is also really good to switch off and just to have comforts everywhere.”

Elsewhere, British No. 1 Katie Boulter added: “I’ve actually always said to myself, I wish there was a women’s event here, I wish I got the chance to play on this court, because you can feel the history and you can feel how incredible it is.”
