Wimbledon 2025 LIVE! Emma Raducanu takes on Aryna Sabalenka for a place in the last-16 at Wimbledon. The British No1 faces the world No1 in a mouth-watering encounter on Centre Court, as she looks to join compatriot Sonay Kartal in making it through to the fourth round on home soil.

After being outclassed by Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff on hard and clay courts, Emma Raducanu feels the Wimbledon grass represents her best chance of pushing Aryna Sabalenka.
