Emma Raducanu’s Wimbledon campaign concluded in a gripping third-round match on July 4, 2025. The British No. 1 battled valiantly but fell to world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 7‑6(7‑6), 6‑4 on Centre Court . Raducanu saved seven set points in a marathon first-set tiebreak before leading 4‑1 in the second, only for Sabalenka to reel off five consecutive games . Sabalenka’s victory means she has now reached at least the fourth round in 11 straight women’s Grand Slams—the first to do so since Serena Williams . Sabalenka will face Elise Mertens next. Despite the loss, Raducanu highlighted her progress, while Sabalenka lauded her resilience and denied any upset jitters. (PC: Sky News)
