Vondrousova likely second-round opponent, then SabalenkaJack Draper faces world No 38 Sebastián BáezIf Emma Raducanu is going to make it through to the second week of Wimbledon for the second time in her career then she’s going to have do it the hard way, with the former champion Marketa Vondrousova and the world No 1, Aryna Sabalenka, blocking her path to a place in week two.With 23 British players in the two singles draws – the most since 1984 – an all-British first-round match was always a high probability and Raducanu finds herself up against the Welsh teenager Mimi Xu in round one.
