Emma Raducanu completes latest career milestone despite early Wimbledon exit

Emma Raducanu's early exit at Wimbledon hasn't stopped her reaching a new career high after breaking into the top 10 of the world rankings.

Raducanu, 19, made her Centre Court debut at SW19, overcoming Belgium's Alison Van Uytvanck on the opening day of the Championships. However, she fell at the next hurdle, beaten by Caroline Garcia in straight sets, with the French player going on to make the last-16.

Usually, a second round defeat would have potentially harmed the ranking of the British star, but that hasn't been the case this time around following the explosive sage which saw Russian and Belarusian players banned from competing. The ATP and WTA responded to the sanction by stripping Wimbledon of ranking points.
