- Great British hope out after retiring in second set
- Ajla Tomljanovic through to quarter-finals
Over the course of this breathless week of tennis, Emma Raducanu’s profile has risen from that of a young, obscure talent to a player billed as a future focal point of British tennis. She had handled all of the attention and subsequent pressure in her stride, but on Monday night the toll of her run finally showed as she was forced to retire from the fourth round with a medical problem after taking a medical timeout while trailing Ajla Tomljanovic 6-4, 3-0.
As a result, Tomljanovic, who channelled all of her experience and handled the occasion with poise, has moved into her first career grand slam quarter-final. She will face world No 1 Ashleigh Barty on Tuesday afternoon in a quick turnaround.
