👀Match of the day

Marin Cilic vs Daniil Medvedev

Two grand slam champions meet on Court No 1. Cilic is a former finalist and ended Jack Draper’s hopes last year with a vintage display. Medvedev is the eighth seed and leads the head-to-head 4-1, the most recent win coming two weeks ago in ’s-Hertogenbosch. This has the potential to go five sets.

🤕 What happened to Emma Raducanu

The British No 1 withdrew from the tournament late on Sunday after announcing she had a stress fracture in her right shin.

Raducanu indicated her desire to play through the pain against Antonia Ruzic on Monday afternoon, but a new scan confirmed her worst fears.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this,” Raducanu wrote in a post on Instagram, “but sadly I’ve had to withdraw from this year’s Wimbledon. I’ve done everything possible to try to get to the start line tomorrow but after a final scan tonight, the niggle I’ve been managing has developed into a stress fracture and I’ve been medically advised to stop pushing through.”
