Emma Raducanu makes a winning return to Wimbledon, but fellow Britons Heather Watson, Charles Broom and Arthur Fery lose on day one.
Emma Raducanu made a winning return to Wimbledon after coming through a testing first-round battle against Mexican lucky loser Renata Zarazua.
Instead, the 2021 US Open champion found herself in a role reversal when the Russian withdrew through illness on Monday morning. But the Briton, who was fired up and showed her passion throughout, had enough quality to eventually come through. She was the first Briton to reach the second round following defeats earlier on day one for Heather Watson, Charles Broom and Arthur Fery.Watson opened one of the jewels of the British sporting summer from a home perspective, playing first on a packed Court 18 but losing to Belgium's Greet Minnen in straight sets.Watson was given a wildcard to enter her 14th tournament at SW19 after slipping to 199 in the rankings.
