Jack Draper Faces Taylor Fritz; Raducanu Gets Tough Wimbledon Draw
Draper vs Fritz; Raducanu Handed Tough Wimbledon Draw

Jack Draper will face American world No7 Taylor Fritz in the first round of Wimbledon next week, while Emma Raducanu has been handed a tricky draw against Antonia Ruzic. Draper, unseeded after dropping to world No160 due to a year of injuries, holds a 3-2 head-to-head advantage over Fritz.

Men's Draw Highlights

World No1 and defending champion Jannik Sinner opens against Miomir Kecmanovic, while Cameron Norrie meets qualifier Michael Zheng. Draper's clash with Fritz is a standout match, as the Briton looks to regain form after arm and knee problems sidelined him for much of the past year.

Raducanu's Path

Raducanu, seeded 30th after her run to the Queen's Club final, could face world No1 Aryna Sabalenka in the later rounds, as she sits in Sabalenka's half of the draw. First, she must overcome world No60 Ruzic, then potentially the winner of former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko and fellow Briton Harriet Dart. Raducanu lost to a four-time major champion in the third round last year.
