Emma Raducanu is back in Wimbledon action, and fans are voting on how far she will go at the 2026 tournament. Now 23, Raducanu stunned the world by winning the US Open as a teenager nearly four years ago, but injuries have since plagued her career. In a recent interview, she revealed plans to play until around age 34, suggesting she still has many chances to add a second Grand Slam title.
Raducanu's Recent Form and Queen's Run
Raducanu came close to her first grass-court title at Queen's earlier this month, narrowly losing to Donna Vekic in the final. She has not played since, and there have been murmurs about an injury, but she looked back to her best at the London tournament. Defending a third-round appearance from last year's Wimbledon, Raducanu needs consistent ranking points after fitness woes in early 2026.

Raducanu's Wimbledon Draw: Key Opponents
Raducanu has been drawn against Antonia Ruzic in the first round, a winnable match against the world No. 60. However, a victory sets up a likely second-round clash with former French Open champion Jeļena Ostapenko, who faces wildcard Harriet Dart. An all-British second-round encounter is possible but unlikely. If Raducanu beats Ostapenko, she could face world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who knocked her out in the third round last year. Also in her quarter are Naomi Osaka and recent French Open winner Mirra Andreeva. "Nobody said it would ever be easy," the article notes.
