Emma Raducanu returns to Wimbledon for the first time in two years as the former US Open champion faces 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova on Centre Court today.

Raducanu missed last year’s tournament after undergoing surgery on both wrists and one of her ankles but has shown glimpses of good form on the grass ahead of the Championships.

The Wimbledon wildcard picked up her first victory over a top-10 opponent when she beat Jessica Pegula at Eastbourne, and Raducanu is full of confidence ahead of the tournament.

But the Briton is downplaying expectations ahead of her opening match against the Russian Alexandrova, who reached the fourth round of Wimbledon last year and is a dangerous opponent.

“If I get through my first round, I’d be over the moon,” said Raducanu. “I’m expecting a really difficult match. I think it’s a match where I’m actually the complete underdog because she’s a lot older, a lot more experienced, ranked a lot higher.”

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Emma Raducanu vs Ekaterina Alexandrova?
