Raducanu 'will win Wimbledon one day', says former British No 1

Former British No 1 Dan Evans predicts Emma Raducanu will eventually win Wimbledon, despite injuries hampering her career.
Dan Evans, the retired former British No 1, has backed Emma Raducanu to eventually win Wimbledon. 'She's good, and I think she thinks she's good,' Evans told The Telegraph. 'Not in an arrogant way, but when she plays big matches, she's like Whatever. This is just another match. And yeah, I just think one day she'll get it.'
Raducanu won the US Open as an 18-year-old qualifier in 2021, the only title of her career. She has reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam only twice, both at Wimbledon, and has not reached a quarter-final outside her US Open triumph. This season has been particularly difficult: she has dropped out of the world's top 100 after missing Wimbledon and the US Open due to a stress fracture in her right leg.
Evans suggested the 23-year-old must increase her court time. 'There's no doubt she needs to have a racket in her hand a bit more,' he said, noting she faces competing demands from endorsements and other commitments. Injuries and fitness issues have been a consistent challenge throughout her career since 2021, though Evans appears confident she has the talent and temperament to succeed.
