British teenager Mimi XU targets a major upheaval when she plays Emma Raducanu in the first round of Wimbledon.
XU, 17, is ranked n ° 302 in the world and was a joker participant in the Wimbledon championships.
Pending her confrontation with the former champion of the United States Raducanu, the Welsh teenager said: “I have the impression of being really ready for that. I am really excited for that. Obviously, she did so well in her career and I am at the start of mine.
“So I think it’s going to be a very good test for me, a very good opportunity for me to go out and play and have fun. I think she is a very good model to have.”
But his admiration for Raducanu will not prevent him from putting pressure for victory.
“I play very well,” she said. “So I think my game is really suitable for grass. I’m really confident in my game right now.
“I’m going to go there, enjoy every moment, try a good try. And I think I have a good chance if I do all that.”

Emma Radacanu says that facing her recurring back spasm can be frustrating and admits that it is a problem that comes and goes.
They are already familiar with each other. Xu went through the National Academy of the Lawn Tennis Association in Lughborough and remembers having seen Raducanu win the US Open in 2021 with the other players who mounted there.
The pair is friendly, sometimes speaking together in Mandarin, with Xu’s parents to both of the Chinese heritage with Raducanu’s mother.
They got better known when Xu was a typing partner for the British team during the final of the Billie Jean King Cup in Malaga last November.

There was no sign of discomfort when the 22 -year -old woman trained on Friday at the All England Club, although she was well beaten in a training on the court of the court by former champion Elena Rybakina.
Xu could find himself playing the British No. 1 on one of the main courts. But Xu said: “I’m really ready to kiss her and get it really and appreciate it. At the US Open last year, I was able to play on Louis Armstrong, which, I think, was also an incredible experience.
“So I had this kind of big short, Big Stadium Experience. And if I can play on this courtyard, I am really excited.”
