Wimbledon 2021 has already given us some iconic moments, from the standing ovation for NHS heroes, to Phoebe Dyvenor and Pete Davidson going public and now to this, the ultimate underdog story. Emma Raducanu is the break-out star of Wimbledon 2021, she is the last British player standing in the Singles, and at just 18-years-old she’s causing quite a stir.
Entering on a wild card, Emma has had a dream tournament so far. After competing in her first WTA tournament just one month ago, no one could have imagined she’d be squaring up for her fourth match at The Championships.
Ranked 338th, in just her second match Emma beat Marketa Vondrousova, in straight sets, and in the third round, she beat World No. 45, Sorana Cirstea. Her next test on July 5 will be against Ajla Tomljanovic, 28, from Australia who's ranked No.75.
When's Emma Raducanu’s next match at Wimbledon 2021?
Emma’s next match, which is against Australia's Ajla Tomlijanovic, takes place Monday, July 5.
As it's the third match of the day, Radio Times (opens in new tab) reports the game should start around 4:30 pm BST (11:30 am ET). The actual start time will depend on how long the two previous matches take. Take note, Wimbledon matches have a habit of running long...

This year the 18-year-old, who's just out of high school, has been juggling A-levels along with her tennis practice. She's now eagerly awaiting her exam results. If her performance in Wimbledon is anything to go by—we think her grades will be just as impressive!
Talking to Vogue, Emma—who's been playing tennis since she was five—joked that her parents asked: “Aren't you packing too many sets of match kit?” Now, of course, after making it further through the tournament than she anticipated, she's run out of clothes. She joked: “I think I’m going to have to do some laundry tonight.”
Most importantly, Emma seems to be enjoying the whole experience, telling the BBC that she's "having a blast" and is excited "to get out there, start competing, and showing what she can do". We're looking forward to our court-side seat!
