Emma Raducanu withdrew from Wimbledon on the eve of her first-round match after scans confirmed a stress fracture in her lower right leg. The 23-year-old British number one pulled out on Sunday, hours before she was due to face Antonia Ruzic. Raducanu had earlier pledged to do everything to be fit for Wimbledon but had cut practice short amid growing concern. Tournament organisers will need to rework the order of play after her late withdrawal. The exit continues a difficult 2026 for Raducanu, a year marked by injuries and illness that have interrupted her season despite signs of encouraging form on court.
