Emma Raducanu has been knocked out of Wimbledon after losing to Lulu Sun in the fourth round.

Raducanu was beaten in three sets by New Zealand-born Sun, who won the Centre Court match 6-2, 5-7, 6-2.

The British tennis star, who had a medical time-out early in the deciding third set after slipping on the grass, was aiming to reach the quarter-finals of the women’s singles at SW19 for the first time.

She had pulled out of her mixed doubles match with Sir Andy Murray on Saturday due to stiffness in her wrist – which denied him the chance of another match at his final Wimbledon.

Raducanu had been the last remaining Briton in either singles draw at the All England Club.

She was playing at her first Wimbledon for two years.

The 21-year-old, who was a qualifier when she won the women’s US Open singles title in 2021, missed much of last year following wrist and ankle surgery.

Raducanu pulled out of French Open qualifying in May to focus on her Wimbledon preparation.

She returned to action in June, reaching the semi-finals of the Nottingham Open and then the quarter-finals in Eastbourne.

Before that, she had not played competitive tennis since her first-round loss at the Madrid Open in April.

The British number three was given a wildcard to play at Wimbledon this year – her current world ranking of 135 was not high enough to earn her automatic entry.
