Raducanu has only played at Wimbledon once since her breakthrough tournament where she reached the fourth round, a performance that foreshadowed her remarkable run to the US Open title two months later. Boulter and Evans had been the last representatives in the women’s and men’s draws respectively, but only by virtue of the draw handing them late assignments on Tuesday – which were then further delayed by the rain.
