Wimbledon: Emma Raducanu wins as SEVEN Brits reach second round on historic day at All England Club

Emma Raducanu will face former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in the second round after beating Welsh teenager Mimi Xu on Monday; Katie Boulter also advances with thrilling three-set victory over Paula Badosa on day of great success for homegrown players. Raducanu, making her 14th Grand Slam appearance, reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last year in what marked her best appearance at a Slam since her victory on debut at the US Open in 2021. Meanwhile, her opponent Xu of Wales was making her Wimbledon and major main draw debut, having made her WTA main draw bow in Nottingham earlier this month.
