Emma Raducanu’s chances of playing Wimbledon 2026 come under renewed doubt after she cuts short a practice session at the All England Club and postpones scheduled media duties. Multiple outlets report that the 23-year-old, Britain’s number one, has been dealing with fitness problems linked to an injury and has recently been seen wearing a protective orthopedic boot. She had also missed training in the days leading up to the weekend, according to reports.
On Saturday, Raducanu ends her session early and does not complete her planned pre-tournament press conference, with coverage attributing the decision to concerns about her right foot/ankle fitness. The reports also note that she had been managing a right-foot injury following her run at Queen’s Club and that uncertainty remains ahead of her opening match. While one report says she comes through the eve of Wimbledon practice session, other sources emphasize that her limited training and the visible medical boot continue to fuel speculation about whether she may withdraw.
