BREAKING: Emma Raducanu pays harsh penalty as she's dumped OUT of Wimbledon in heartbreaking defeat

Emma Raducanu's Wimbledon dream is over for another year after a straight sets loss to world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka. But it really didn't need to be.

The British No.1 had chances to win both sets, and broke the top seed on multiple occasions. But she was unable to take the opportunities that came her way - and ultimately paid a harsh price against the three-time Grand Slam winner.

In just short of two hours she was defeat 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 by Sabalenka. But what might seem like a straightforward win for the 27-year-old Belarussian was anything but.
