Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray have learned their opponents for Wimbledon this summer.
Raducanu has been handed a wildcard entry, with the 2021 US Open champion set to grace the green lawns at SW19 for the first time in two years.
It remains unclear if Murray will be able to play, however, with the former world No 1 recently having back surgery.
He is determined to grace Wimbledon one last time, though, and has been handed a wildcard for the doubles so he can play alongside brother Jamie - fitness permitting.
