Emma Raducanu has been awarded a wildcard for next month's Wimbledon women's singles championship, organisers announced on Wednesday.
Raducanu brokeout at the 2021 edition of the tournament by reaching the round of 16 and followed it up by winning the U.S. Open later that summer. However, she has struggled to repeat that success, falling in the second round at Wimbledon in 2022 before being ruled out in 2023 due to surgery on both wrists and an ankle.
Raducanu is ranked 165th in the world.
A trio of former world No. 1s in Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber and Caroline Wozniacki have been also been handed wild cards.
Kerber, down at 224th in the world rankings after 18 months on maternity leave, won the tournament in 2018 and finished runner-up in 2016.
Osaka and Wozniacki, who both also took lengthy breaks from the tour during their pregnancies, have five Grand Slam titles between them.
Osaka, who reached the quarterfinals of the Rosmalen Grass Court Championships last week, has progressed to the third round at Wimbledon on two occasions, while Wozniacki has made it to the round of 16 six times.
Britain's Fran Jones, Lily Miyazaki, and Heather Watson are the other players to be awarded entry into the women's singles.
On the men's side, all the players to receive wild cards were from Britain, with Liam Broady the standout name.
One wild card is yet to be awarded in both the men's and women's draws.
