EMMA Raducanu is set to be the best paid British player at Wimbledon this year – despite never actually hitting a ball at this year’s tournament.
The former US Open champion, 20, is injured and unable to play but has been spotted in SW19 with her sponsors who pay her millions to promote their brands.

She also admitted in a chat with the Princess of Wales that she had not made it to any of the courts despite coming to the Championships for two days already.
Raducanu has filmed promos and posed for shoots with Evian and Vodafone during the fortnight so far.
She took selfies with fans who were queuing on Monday morning and told the Princess of Wales: “It was really fun. Yesterday we were there at 7.30 and it was packed.
Kate asked: “Are you able to train at the moment or have you been told just to rest?” Emma replied: “It’s rehab as well and light exercises but not working out yet, which is annoying.”
Kate said: “So when do you hope to get back into it, do they know yet?”
Emma said: “I start training in a month.”
Kate told Emma: “I bet you’re itching, especially when this is all going on around you. Are you getting to see quite a bit of tennis, some of the matches?”
Emma said: “Some of them. I don’t end up watching too many because I feel like it’s a bit fresh right now.”
Kate said: “It’s a hard position to be in.”
