Emma Raducanu makes a strong statement of intent by beating Greek ninth seed Maria Sakkari to reach the Wimbledon fourth round.
Britain’s Emma Raducanu made a strong statement of intent by dismantling Greek ninth seed Maria Sakkari to reach the Wimbledon fourth round."Today was really up there with the most fun I’ve had on a tennis court," said Raducanu, who beat Sakkari in the semi-finals of her incredible 2021 US Open win.
She is the first Briton through to the last 16 of this year’s Wimbledon singles, with Sonay Kartal earlier losing to American second seed Coco Gauff on a wet Friday at the All England Club. This summer, she has been smiling again. A cheerier demeanour has been symbolic of Raducanu rediscovering her love for the sport.
Another has arrived within a fortnight by beating Sakkari, and this takes her into the last 16 of a major for the first time since her US Open triumph.
