Raducanu, Evans and Norrie lead the British charge at Wimbledon

  • Eighteen-year-old Raducanu beats Vitalia Diatchenko
  • Evans eases past Lajovic, Norrie sees off Pouille

Eighteen-year-old Emma Raducanu capped an excellent afternoon for British players in the singles with a successful Wimbledon debut, defeating the qualifier Vitalia Diatchenko 7-6 (4), 6-0 after recovering from a 4-1 deficit in the opening set.

Raducanu also had to save break points to avoid going 5-1 down in the opener and her recovery to win it after 83 minutes drained the fight from her opponent, as she eventually ran out an easy winner.
