When Emma Raducanu hurtled across the baseline to whip an eye-popping passing shot winner at Wimbledon on Wednesday, it signalled that she was once again capable of delivering the kind of potent shots that carried her to the 2021 U.

Emma Raducanu can take inspiration from one of her best matches but knows she has her work cut out in a tricky second-round clash with former champion Marketa Vondrousova. It will be deja vu for Raducanu, whose second-round win over Vondrousova at the All England Club in 2021 first made the wider tennis world sit up and take notice.

In a parallel universe, this matchup is between two top-10 players. In this one, it is a duel of two cautionary tales about tennis success.
