World number one Aryna Sabalenka continues her quest for a first Wimbledon title when she takes on Elise Mertens, while two-times defending champion Carlos Alcaraz faces Andrey Rublev when the fourth round begins on Sunday.

Nevertheless, the home crowd cheered for Raducanu as her Wimbledon campaign and grass court season ended. During her post-match press conference, Raducanu was still visibly upset about how she failed to execute, but still saw the silver lining in her performance.

Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka staved off an upset bid by resurgent Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon by beating the home favorite 7-6 (6), 6-4 in the third-round at a raucous Centre Court.
