Emma Raducanu vs Renata Zarazua start time: TV channel and free live stream for Wimbledon today

Emma Raducanu makes her Centre Court return today as she takes on Renata Zarazua at Wimbledon after a late change of opponent.

The 21-year-old missed the grass-court season last year after undergoing surgery on her wrists and ankle, and it means this is just her third time in the main draw at SW19.

Raducanu was beaten in the second round by Caroline Garcia in 2022, a year on from the fourth-round run that preceded her remarkable US Open triumph.

The Briton needed a wildcard into the tournament this year but there have been promising signs on the grass courts, with a semi-final appearance in Nottingham and a win over Jessica Pegula, her first against a top-ten opponent, to reach the quarter-finals in Eastbourne.

Raducanu was scheduled to face 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the opening round, but the Russian withdrew on Monday morning with illness. Zarazua, who was beaten in qualifying, will instead make her first main-draw appearance at Wimbledon.
