Wimbledon: Emma Raducanu & Leicester City fuel Katie Boulter before Harmony Tan match

Katie Boulter is taking inspiration from Leicester's 2016 Premier League title victory and Emma Raducanu's 2021 US Open win to fuel her Wimbledon run.

"I hope I can take a leaf out of their book," said Boulter of Leicester before Saturday's match.

"They were something else. Maybe I can hopefully create that this year."

Leicester defied 5,000-1 pre-season odds to clinch the title ahead of the top-flight's established powerhouses, while Raducanu, ranked 150 in the world at the time, became the the first player to come through qualifying and clinch a Grand Slam title in an astonishing run at Flushing Meadows last year.
