British number one Emma Raducanu is back on Centre Court this afternoon when she takes on French rival Caroline Garcia for a place in the the third round of Wimbledon 2022. The US Open champion, who opened her campaign with a win over Belgian opponent Alison van Uytvanck, is a 4/6 favourite with Betfred to overcome the former world number four.
Raducanu, who is a 16/1 chance to go all the way to a second major victory, was cheered on by a hugely partisan home crowd in her opening game on Monday evening. The 19-year-old eventually eased to a comfortable straight-sets victory at her first Grand Slam on home turf since her US Open win last September.
Raducanu said: "Caroline is a great opponent. I played her earlier on in the year in Indian Wells and it was a tricky match. She plays pretty fast tennis. I'm ready for that. It feels incredible. From the moment the doors opened, I completely cherished every moment. I feel like everyone is so behind me."
