American tennis player with a rising profile
Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament after a stress fracture was confirmed, ending her bid to compete this year. Several British players are in action, including Katie Boulter, Fran Jones, Harriet Dart, Alicia Dudeney, Hannah Klugman and Mika Stojsavljevic, with wildcards and rising stars featured in the draw.
Sara Bejlek has upset world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 7-6(7/9), 6-4 in Toronto, delivering a major upset ahead of the US Open. The Czech qualifier rode a late comeback in the first set tiebreak and seized momentum to reach the quarterfinals, where she will face Madison Keys. Rybakina and Swiatek also advance, keeping the Cincinnati and Toronto results shaping the build-up to the Open.
