British Tennis player Emma Raducanu has been knocked out of Wimbledon by New Zealand qualifier Lulu Sun.
The British wildcard, 21, lost 6-2 5-7 6-2 in the fourth round on Centre Court.
Raducanu had levelled the match and regained some confidence after a stunning performance from an inspired Sun.
Then Raducanu slipped on the baseline in the first game of the third set.
The 2021 US Open champion stayed down on the grass and shook her head before getting back to her feet.
The game was stopped at 15-30 on Raducanu’s serve and she received treatment – on her leg and back – while laid out on the court.
Her loss means the world number 135 missed out on reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time in her career, while there are no British players left in the singles draws at the All England Club.
Raducanu’s defeat came a day after she pulled out of a planned mixed doubles appearance alongside fellow Briton Andy Murray, citing “stiffness” in her right wrist.
