Caroline Garcia

EMMA RADUCANU was sent crashing out of Wimbledon by Caroline Garcia in straight sets on Centre Court.

Who will deliver the goods this afternoon? The latter adopted a stronger approach at the start of set two and looked to be plotting an impressive comeback but failed to gather some much-needed momentum, which allowed Garcia to capitalise as the match entered its final stages. She goes on to lose the set, though, with Caroline Garcia putting the pressure on to claim her second break point of the afternoon. Emma Raducanu is on the brink of dropping the first set!

Raducanu came into Wimbledon cold and it showed as she struggled to gather her game on Centre Court against a powerful opponent.

On this evidence she needs time to refind that sharpness and surround herself with a settled team. Raducanu wasn’t done, battling to an immediate break back for the second time, but lost her serve once more the very next game to fall 4-3 behind, and from there Garcia closed it out despite Centre Court’s roars. But she struggled to get hold of Garcia’s powerful first serve, which averaged 107mph compared to the teenager’s 96mph. Just appearing here at Wimbledon was something of a surprise given the side strain which forced her to withdraw from Nottingham earlier this month and then miss Eastbourne, where she had hoped to hone her grass game. Garcia certainly settled quickest, holding her serve before breaking with her very first look at Raducanu’s after a precision forehand to the baseline. Her serve was about the only part of her game flowing as the forehand chose unpredictable trajectories and her usually pinpoint backhand was no more consistent.

Emma Raducanu's Wimbledon return ended in disappointing fashion as she was beaten 6-3, 6-3 by Caroline Garcia on Centre Court.

She smiled throughout her press conference, particularly when she tackled a question in Chinese for the first time. Garcia was relentless until the end, and Raducanu was outmatched by a player with a bigger serve and heavier strokes who rose to the occasion facing her. But she neither had the firepower to match Garcia, nor the variety to disrupt her game. Even when Garcia sprayed unforced errors and relinquished her early break, she was unmoved in her urgency to dominate. Inspired by the occasion and her distinguished opponent, Garcia thoroughly outplayed Raducanu to reach thethird round with a 6-3, 6-3 win.third round with a 6-3, 6-3 win.
