Emma Raducanu withdrew from Wimbledon on the eve of her first-round match after scans revealed a stress fracture in her lower right leg. The 23-year-old British number one had been due to face Antonia Ruzic but will not take the court at her home Grand Slam. Tournament doctors confirmed the scan result as the reason for the withdrawal. Raducanu has endured a difficult 2026 marked by injuries and illness that have overshadowed recent encouraging signs on court. Her withdrawal removes her from the draw and opens a spot in the first round.
