IT'S COME EM HOME

Raducanu wants to be crowning glory of an incredible summer of sport by landing her second Grand Slam title

- NEIL MCLEMAN

EMMA RADUCANU is set for a normal Wimbledon with less "less stress or chaos" - but wants to play her part in an extraordinary fortnight in British sport.

The Bromley-based star, now 21, first made headlines when she reached the fourth round here just weeks after her A-levels. The following year, as reigning US Open champion, she won her race to shake off a side strain before playing her first two matches on Centre Court.

Now, after missing last year following surgery, she is back for only her seventh match at the All England Club against Russian No.22 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova (circle).

Raducanu has insisted she is in a "good place" as she is physically fit, working with her childhood coach, and free of the frenzied expectation that followed her shock Grand Slam success.
