Emma Raducanu's Wimbledon hopes shaken by orthopaedic boot injury concern
British tennis star Emma Raducanu was seen leaving Wimbledon’s official practice area, Aorangi Park, wearing a grey orthopaedic boot on her right leg. The sight raised fresh doubts about her ability to compete at the forthcoming Championships despite having secured direct entry and a seed.
Raducanu had recently withdrawn from the Nottingham Open and missed the clay season, returning only weeks earlier after a virus‑related break. She is scheduled to train on Court 10 tomorrow, and a team representative said, “Emma is absolutely fine. She will play tomorrow.” Former world No. 4 Tim Henman and other commentators noted that her physical resilience remains a key issue for any chance of a Grand Slam title.
The British public, eager for a home contender, will watch closely as she attempts to overcome the injury concern and defend the third‑round result she achieved last year.
