Cam Norrie and Sonay Kartal are the only British hopes left standing at Wimbledon after an emotional exit for Emma Raducanu. She had her chances against world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, but in both sets, she was unable to capitalise on breaks of serve as she went down 7-6, 6-4.

Women's top seed Aryna Sabalenka fought off inspired home favourite Emma Raducanu in a cauldron-like Centre Court atmosphere to keep her Wimbledon quest on track but it was the end of the road for two other Grand Slam champions on Friday.
