 It did not require much in the way of body language expertise to pinpoint the moment Harriet Dart feared her Wimbledon campaign was over.After almost three hours of an all-British showdown against Katie Boulter on Court One on Thursday, Dart dumped a backhand into the net to trail 6-2 in a final set tie-break. She trudged to the back of the court, head in hands, and the tears flowed.“I wear my emotions on my sleeve, so you see everything how I’m thinking,” Dart said, in case there had been any doubt.A beaming smile of relief came just nine minutes...

 Can you really say a 21-year-old is rolling back the years?No, would normally be the answer, that phrase usually reserved for the likes of Andy Murray bounding around late in their career to provide a reminder of their enduring quality.But Emma Raducanu is giving it a good go, three years on from following her fourth-round appearance at Wimbledon with an extraordinary run to the US Open title at Flushing Meadows.To suggest a repeat of the latter is even on the cards later this summer would be premature in the extreme, but the former has now been matched after a...

Wimbledon 2024: Dominant Emma Raducanu cruises past ninth seed Maria Sakkari to reach fourth round

 Emma Raducanu vs Maria Sakkari - LIVE!Emma Raducanu faces a difficult test at Wimbledon as she goes up against ninth seed Maria Sakkari on Centre Court this afternoon. It has been an impressive week so from Raducanu, who dropped just three games when cruising past Elise Mertens to book her place in the third round.It is the 21-year-old’s first appearance at this stage of a Grand Slam since she won the US Open in the summer of 2021, and there are positive signs in terms of form and fitness to suggest Raducanu is now ready to consistently produce her best tennis. The Briton reached the semi-finals in Nottingham last month, before making it to the Eastbourne quarter-finals a week later.Sakkari was swept aside by Raducanu on that extraordinary run to the title at Flushing Meadows three years ago, but she will be eyeing revenge here. The 28-year-old is ranked ninth in the world, despite not making the fourth round of a Grand Slam since the 2022 Australian Open. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog belo!
