Wales’ Mimi Xu has been drawn to face Australia’s Daria Kasatkina in the first round of the women’s singles at Wimbledon.
Xu has been handed a wildcard into the main draw for the second successive year.
The Swansea-born 18-year-old, who is ranked 327th in the world, was beaten by fellow Brit Emma Raducanu on debut in 2025.
She faces another tough test against 29-year-old Kasatkina, a former French Open semi-finalist.
The world number 68 is competing in the Wimbledon singles for the ninth time, with a run to the quarter-finals in 2018 her best performance at the All England Club.
Kasatkina, who previously represented Russia, has a career-best world ranking of eighth, which she achieved in 2022.
- Expectation a privilege for Wales tennis star Xu
- Williams given favourable Wimbledon start – who else plays who?
