Wimbledon 2024 draw: Emma Raducanu, Andy Murray and Katie Boulter find out opponents

Emma Raducanu has been drawn against Russian 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round of Wimbledon.

In the men’s draw, Andy Murray will face Czech Tomas Machac – if the two-time champion is fit to play.

Murray, 37, had an operation on a back cyst at the weekend and says he will leave it until the last minute to decide whether he can compete on Tuesday.

Raducanu, 21, makes her return to the All England Club after missing last year’s tournament through injury.

British number one Katie Boulter, who is seeded 32nd, starts against German veteran Tatjana Maria, who reached the semi-finals in 2022.

Boulter could play fellow Briton Harriet Dart in the second round.

Dart starts against Chinese qualifier Bai Zhuoxuan.

British qualifier Sonay Kartal has been rewarded with an opening match against Romanian 29th seed Sorana Cirstea.

Heather Watson – who reached the fourth round in 2022 – starts against Dutch player Greet Minnen.

Francesca Jones and Lily Miyazaki, also both given wildcards, play Croatia’s Petra Martic and Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch respectively.
