Emma Raducanu claimed that the string tension in her racket was off during the early stages of her battle with Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon on Friday night. The Brit was made to play under a closed Centre Court roof because Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz dragged their feet during their victories earlier in the day.

Emma Raducanu has said while her defeat to Aryna Sabalenka is tough to take, she feels motivated to keep improving having given the world No. 1 a serious test at Wimbledon on Friday.

Nevertheless, the home crowd cheered for Raducanu as her Wimbledon campaign and grass court season ended. During her post-match press conference, Raducanu was still visibly upset about how she failed to execute, but still saw the silver lining in her performance.
