Emma Raducanu v Mimi Xu | Wimbledon 2025 preview, betting tips and H2H

Emma Raducanu goes head to head with debutant Mimi Xu in an eye-catching all-British first-round clash at Wimbledon on Monday.

One of the ties of the opening round at the All England Club pits the former British number one against the 17-year-old British wildcard.

Raducanu has endured another season of mixed fortunes since her fairy-tale US Open triumph in 2021.

Despite reaching the quarter-finals in Miami and Queen’s Club last time out, she has also suffered four first-round exits.

That will encourage Xu, who hopes she will enjoy a debut to remember on her senior Wimbledon bow.

The Swansea-born prodigy reached the girls’ doubles final here alongside Mika Stojsavljevic 12 months ago, and has already beaten two top-100 players on grass this month.

Either former champion Marketa Vondrousova or McCartney Kessler awaits the winner of this showdown in the second round.

The match gets under way at around 5pm BST on Monday and will be contested over the best of three sets on No.1 Court.

Emma Raducanu v Mimi Xu prediction

Xu heads to Wimbledon for her women’s singles debut full of confidence and momentum.

The world number 318 beat top seed Alycia Parks at a WTA125 in Birmingham earlier this month, before overcoming Katie Volynets on her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the Nottingham Open.

With that recent experience under her belt, Xu will certainly have no fear in facing Raducanu, who is still to return to the heights of that New York triumph four years ago.

Nevertheless, the 22-year-old has not lost in round one in her three previous Wimbledon appearances, while reaching the last 16 on two occasions, and that knowhow may just get her over the line here.
