Raducanu had a fair response (Image: Getty) Emma Raducanu has made her feelings known on the controversial issue of Wimbledon dropouts after a last-minute change in opponent this week. Originally set to take on Ekaterina Alexandrova, Raducanu found herself without an opponent just hours before their clash when Alexandrova withdrew due to illness. In the early stages of a contest, it's standard for replacements to step in rather than handing out walkovers - a process which results in the healthy player going through without playing.
And that's just what happened, as Raducanu was paired with a new competitor. The British tennis sensation addressed the topic at a press conference, saying: "I think it's difficult because I've been in the player's side. You're always hoping when I wake up in the morning I'm going to feel a lot better.

You're like, 'Okay, I'm going to see how it is in the morning'. I think it is good how it is, to be honest.
It's just more having to deal with those consequences." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
