Wimbledon 2025: Sabalenka denies Raducanu in dramatic battle, Alcaraz advances – as it happened

The world No 1 fought back in both sets to end Emma Raducanu's run, while Carlos Alcaraz kept his title defence on track

A few venerable tennis observers have spoken of Amanda Anisimova as a possible champion here given the carnage in the women's draw, especially in her quarter. The 23-year-old American started her campaign by serving up a double bagel to a distracted Yulia Putintseva, and won in straight sets in the second round too, but she's been broken in the early exchanges against Galfi and trails 3-1.

Make that 3-0 Osaka. Nick Kyrgios, who will play alongside Osaka at the rebooted US Open mixed doubles event next month, is watching on with Osaka's team, and will be impressed with what he's seen so far.
