British women’s number one Emma Raducanu and two-time champion Andy Murray are set for Centre Court when Wimbledon gets under way today.
Raducanu makes her debut on the main show court against Belgian Alison van Uytvanck and The 19-year-old says she is “ready to go” at SW19 after a week of uncertainty caused by a side strain.
Asked if it led to concerns she could not play, she said there were moments in the week she wasn’t really sure.
Murray has also faced a race to be fit but says the past few days have been “really positive” after being hampered by an abdominal injury which forced him out of Queen’s.
