British Billie Jean King Cup captain believes Emma Raducanu will be “devastated” with her loss to Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon, despite pushing the world No. 1 in two close sets. Raducanu produced an impressive performance to lead by a break in both sets but ultimately came up short, losing 7-6 (6) 6-4.

Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka staved off an upset bid by resurgent Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon by beating the home favorite 7-6 (6), 6-4 in the third-round at a raucous Centre Court.

Nevertheless, the home crowd cheered for Raducanu as her Wimbledon campaign and grass court season ended. During her post-match press conference, Raducanu was still visibly upset about how she failed to execute, but still saw the silver lining in her performance.
