Raducanu put the three-time Grand Slam champion under huge pressure on Centre Court before eventually falling in two tight sets.

Wimbledon tournament director Jamie Baker has hit back after Emma Raducanu became the latest star to complain about the electronic line calling. Many top stars in SW19 have been suggesting that the technology, which replaced line judges for the first time this year, is not accurate.

The controversial call, which Raducanu questioned, was a first serve by Sabalenka at 2-4, 15-0, which did appear to miss the line upon replay. The serve ultimately led to Sabalenka going up 30-0 in a pivotal set during the match, helping her stage a comeback after going down early.
