Emma Raducanu will face Mimi Xu, a leading light of the next generation of British tennis, in her opening round at Wimbledon this year. Xu, the 17-year-old, was given direct entry into the main women’s singles draw at the Championships with a wildcard, and is currently ranked 302nd in the world.

Emma Raducanu is hoping to make it past the fourth round of the women's singles at Wimbledon for the first time, although a tough draw has made that a tall order.
