British number one Emma Raducanu is out of Wimbledon after falling agonisingly short of top seed Aryna Sabalenka in a gripping third-round match.

Aryna Sabalenka looked shaken and stirred on Friday as it appeared she would become the most high-profile name to join the mass exodus of Wimbledon seeds before her survival instincts kicked in to secure a 7-6(6) 6-4 third-round win over Emma Raducanu.

Emma Raducanu expressed frustration with having to get a couple of her rackets re-strung during her third-round loss to top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon.

After an outstanding display in her previous match, Emma Raducanu will likely require an even better showing to beat top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

Playing against 15,000 opponents is no easy task, but that is what Aryna Sabalenka must have felt she was up against as she faced Britain's big hope, Emma Raducanu, in a rollicking third round Wimbledon showdown on Friday.

Raducanu has enjoyed some positive results since linking up with the former British number one on an informal basis in March.
