Emma Raducanu will take on world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the third round of Wimbledon after claiming an impressive victory over former champion Marketa Vondrousova.

It will be a daunting task for the British number one but she can take great encouragement from her performance here, with Vondrousova not just the 2023 winner but also a player in hot form after beating Sabalenka and Madison Keys to win the warm-up title in Berlin.
