British hopes at Wimbledon will be high after an encouraging draw for the home players led by Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray.
Emma Raducanu has been drawn against Belgian Alison van Uytvanck in the first round of Wimbledon. The British No. 1's participation in the tournament is still unclear given her recovery from a side strain, but if she does make the start line then a test against the world No.
Two-time champion Andy Murray will play James Duckworth in the first round of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, while fellow Brit Emma Raducanu will start her tournament against Alison van Uytvanck.
Emma Raducanu has a tough opening match on her return to Wimbledon as she will face recent Surbiton and Gaiba champion, and strong grass-courter, Alison van Uytvanck. The 19-year-old made her Grand Slam debut at the All England Club a year ago as the 338th-ranked wildcard and returns as the 10th seed and US Open champion. Raducanu is in the opposite half of the draw to world No 1 Iga Swiatek and 23-time Major champion Serena Williams so could only face them in the final, but has this year's Australian Open runner-up Danielle Collins and in-form world No 3 Ons Jabeur in her quarter.
GAIBA, Italy (AP) — Top-seeded Alison Van Uytvanck beat Italian veteran Sara Errani 6-4, 6-3 to win the inaugural Veneto Open on Sunday.
Kingston's Jodie Burrage admitted she had sympathy for her opponent and sixth-seeded Mihaela Buzarnescu, who was forced to pull out of their quarter-final match at the LTA's Surbiton Trophy due to injury. Burrage — who is on the LTA's Pro Scholarship Programme, the highest level of support for players aged 16-24 — was trailing 3-6 2-1 when former top 20 player Buzarnescu was forced to retire after injuring her knee two points earlier. Ad/> Having also suffered an injury at this tournament previously, Burrage admitted it was difficult to see her opponent struggle despite her delight at moving onto the last four.
The French Open is back with the second Grand Slam of the season.
Day four at the 2022 French Open will see Emma Raducanu, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal all in action. Raducanu open on Court Suzanne Lenglen on Wednesday morning while Court Philippe Chatrier will conclude with 13-time champion Nadal, the fifth seed in the men's singles, as he faces home favourite Corentin Moutet.
