British tennis player Emma Raducanu has raised concerns that she may not play the 2026 Wimbledon Championships.
She had not been seen training in recent days. Raducanu reportedly was walking around the facility in an orthopedic boot. On Saturday, she practiced with Anna Kalinskaya but was forced to cut the practice short.
