British player Emma Raducanu is out of Wimbledon after she was beaten last night by New Zealand's Lulu Sun.

The 21-year-old was hoping to reach the quarter-finals for the first time.

Her end to the tournament came the day after she pulled out of a doubles match with Andy Murray due to a "stiff wrist".

Raducanu was the last British player in the singles.

Emma struggled with injuries during the match

Raducanu struggled with physical issues during the match, and had to call for a medical timeout after she slipped on the grass.

However speaking after the game she was positive about the future of her tennis.

She said: "I feel good about things going forwards. I feel optimistic"

"As bitter as it is to take, I think [this defeat] happened for a reason. You don't want things to happen too easily and too quickly. I had that before. I don't necessarily want just a massive spike."
