British hopes were dealt a blow on the eve of the tournament with Emma Raducanu withdrawing from the tournament due to injury.

Following her run to the final at Queen's, Raducanu had limited practice time at Wimbledon last week and had her right ankle strapped heavily. The 23-year-old confirmed on Sunday that she had sustained a stress fracture.

Writing on Instagram, Raducanu said: "I can't believe I'm saying this, but sadly I've had to withdraw from this year's Wimbledon.

"I've done everything possible to try to get to the start line tomorrow but after a final scan tonight, the niggle I've been managing has developed into a stress fracture and I've been medically advised to stop pushing through.

"Playing at Wimbledon, in front of a home crowd, means everything to me, so this is really difficult to process.

"I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement. Especially at a time like this, it is invaluable. I look forward to seeing you when I'm back."
