Emma Raducanu has pledged to play through the pain barrier at Wimbledon after suffering more back issues in her defeat at the Eastbourne Open. Asked if there was a chance she could miss her home Grand Slam, the British No.1 said: “No, I think I will step on the court regardless.”

British tennis star Emma Raducanu said Wimbledon did “an amazing job” in preventing a man who was accused of stalking her from buying tickets to the championships at SW19 this month.
