British number one Emma Raducanu will look to build momentum ahead of Wimbledon as she begins her HSBC Championships campaign week at Queen’s Club.

She will take on qualifier Anna Blinkova, who is ranked 105th in the world, before teaming up with Katie Boulter in doubles action.

England‘s 4-0 defeat to Spain on Friday was their heaviest loss in 17 years and left automatic Women’s World Cup qualification from Group A3 out of their hands heading into the final game against Ukraine at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Sarina Wiegman’s side need to better Spain’s result against Iceland in order to qualify automatically for next year’s tournament in Brazil, otherwise they face going through the play-offs.

The game is live on ITV from 1930.
