Wimbledon Buzz Despite Raducanu’s Exit | Belfast News

Wimbledon kicked off under perfect sunny skies with crowds roaring in — 45,000 on day one, half a million expected over two weeks. Strawberries, cream, and Pimm’s flow as fans soak in the magic, even as temperatures dip from last week’s heatwave. But the vibe hit a snag when Emma Raducanu had to pull out due to a stress fracture — a gut punch for fans hoping to see her. Still, the energy’s electric: picnics, celebrations, and tradition keep the crowd buzzing. With Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka set to take Centre Court, the tournament’s social heartbeat remains strong — even without homegrown starlight.
