WIMBLEDON — If anyone thought that fraught whispers of a British injury on the eve of Wimbledon died out with Andy Murray’s retirement, think again.
With just three days to go until the first ball is struck at the All England Club, Britain’s best hope of success is struggling to make it onto the practice court and was even spotted in an orthopaedic boot.
Emma Raducanu’s return to the upper echelons of the sport is an interesting tale of reversion to what worked for her years ago, including rehiring a familiar face and the return to a style of tennis in which she feels most comfortable, but it may all be academic.
Raducanu did not turn up to train on Thursday at Aorangi Park, Wimbledon’s practice facility, and she didn’t even have a court booked since Monday. She was even spotted on Wednesday with an orthopaedic boot on her right leg, and it is understood that she is managing a niggle.
