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