Emma Raducanu Makes Fresh History Before Wimbledon 2026!

Emma Raducanu is on a roll. And we all know what happened the last time that kind of unexpected drama unfolded!
She is Britain’s first female finalist at Queen’s Club since 1970. And she had to play two matches in a day to get there!
Raducanu’s critics may be falling silent at last. The girl who won ten matches in a row to stun the world and win the US Open in 2021 is well and truly back.
Emma Raducanu will arrive at Wimbledon 2026 full of confidence and determined to go deep at her home Grand Slam.
The way she beat 18-year-old American starlet Iva Jovic was truly impressive. Remember, big-hitting Jovic had defeated last year’s Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova on Friday.
But Raducanu brought an extraordinary intensity to her semi-final campaign – and refused to let her higher-ranked opponent settle.
The fear has gone. Emma is happy to unleash booming shots on both sides and trust a free-flowing game that the British crowds just love to see.
The 23-year-old’s scintillating 6-2, 6-2 victory over Jovic was as convincing as it sounds. And she confirmed later that she had tapped into the energy of the home crowd.
Raducanu said: ‘This week has been incredible. I’ve really enjoyed playing here and I think that shows. I’m pleased with how I’ve been able to compete and stick out some really tough moments. It means everything to be making it through to Sunday.’
She’ll play Donna Vekic, an English-educated Croatian who is no stranger to the grass in West London. Vekic beat Katie Boulter 6-1, 6-3 – and is clearly in hot form too.
Raducanu had beaten Kamilla Rakhimova earlier in the day to progress. Now she stands just one step from a second huge title in her career.
Emma Raducanu would give anything to repeat this kind of form over at Wimbledon 2026 in a few short weeks. Will you be there too?
