Dan Evans backs Emma Raducanu to win Wimbledon one day
Former British No 1 Dan Evans says Emma Raducanu will win Wimbledon one day.
The 23-year-old British player won the US Open in 2021, but it remains her only career title.
A stress fracture in her right leg kept Raducanu out of Wimbledon and the US Open this year.
She has not competed since reaching the Queen’s Club final in June and has fallen to world No 107.
Evans says Raducanu has the ability and mindset to win big matches.
He also says she needs more time on court, while praising her work in training.
Her return to competition remains uncertain.
The sources say she could focus on recovery and seek a protected ranking if she misses at least six months because of injury.

What people are saying
I genuinely think she will win Wimbledon one day
Not in an arrogant way, but when she plays big matches, she's like 'Whatever. This is just another match.'
