BBC Sport tennis news reporter at WimbledonPublished10 minutes agoBritain's Emma Raducanu says she "plans to play" at Wimbledon on Monday despite her participation being put into serious doubt because of a leg injury.
Raducanu, 23, made the decision to play after a short practice session at the All England Club on Sunday.
Raducanu, who is seeded 30th, is due to start her campaign against Croatia's Antonia Ruzic on Court One (13:00 BST).
Fears about the British number one's fitness grew over the past week.
Raducanu was spotted wearing a protective boot on Wednesday, then was unable to train on Thursday and Friday because of what is believed to be a shin problem.
The 2021 US Open champion returned to the court on Saturday to test her fitness and, wearing strapping around her lower right leg, started with a gentle hour-long session with her team.
But she then cut short another practice session with Russia's Anna Kalinskaya - when the pair played a practice set - with 10 minutes remaining.
Williams given favourable Wimbledon start - who else plays who?
This season has been disrupted by a viral illness that meant she only played six matches from early February to the start of Queen's earlier this month.
Raducanu's run to the Queen's final bred confidence and increased optimism she could have a successful Wimbledon, where she reached the fourth round in 2021 and 2024.
