Wimbledon Order of Play: Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter play on Day one at SW19

Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter are both in action on Day One of Wimbledon as the championship begins on one of the hottest days of the year.

Two British females are on the show courts with Raducanu, who admitted recently she wanted to move on from her 2021 US Open success, is last up on Court One when she takes on Mimi Xu from Wales. Raducanu is aiming to make a run in a Grand Slam once again.

Boulter meanwhile plays on Centre Court, which she has done in the past, when she faces Spaniard Paula Badosa. She is the ninth seed and it will take a stellar effort from the home favourite, who has twice reached the third round at SW19, to see off Badosa

Boulter will play on Centre Court after, as is tradition, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz comes out to play first up. He will face Italian Fabio Fognini as the recently crowned French Open champion goes after a third straight title at Wimbledon.

Alcaraz has been linked romantically with Raducanu away from the court and the young Brit was quizzed on those rumours before the tournament but, with a large smile, insisted they were just friends.

Another Brit to keep an eye out for is Jacob Fearnley - he will also play on Court One against Joao Fonseca and is up before Raducanu, but after women's top seed Aryna Sabalenka has begun her tournament.

There was a record number of Brits in the draw for this year's Wimbledon and those in attendance will be able to watch a number of them on the outside courts. Cameron Norrie, who made the semi-finals here back in 2022, is up against Roberto Bautista Agut on Court 18 with his match on just after midday.

Two home favourites begin their efforts at 11am with Sonay Kartal out on Court 3 against Jelena Ostapenko. Over on Court 16 and Oliver Crawford will take on Mattia Bellucci. Meanwhile over on Court 12 Hannah Klugman takes on Canada's 29th seed Leylah Fernandez. It was Fernandez who lost to Raducanu in the US Open final four years ago.

Away from the Brits, women's Australian Open champion Madison Keys begins her tournament on the opening day. The American will face Elena-Gabriela Ruse whilst men's fifth seed Taylor Fritz, who has impressed in the lead up to Wimbledon, faces Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.

Two-time finalist Ons Jabeur, who has fallen down the rankings, begins her bid to finally land a Grand Slam when she faces Viktoriya Tomova of Bulgaria.
