Welsh teenager Mimi Xu will take on Emma Raducanu in the first round of Wimbledon, and the 17-year-old is relishing the prospect of facing one of her role models

Hannah Klugman, the 16-year-old British wildcard, will make her Wimbledon debut against Leylah Fernandez, while US Open junior champion Mika Stojsavljevic, also 16, will take on the 31st seed Ashlyn Krueger.

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.
