Johanna Konta has risen to the defence of Emma Raducanu, after the teenage star got people talking following her post-match interview following defeat to Caroline Garcia at Wimbledon. It was yet more disappointment for Raducanu, as her SW19 journey came to an end early in the second round.
Garcia defeated the 19-year-old in straight sets, 6-3 6-3 on Wednesday, and afterwards Raducanu sparked debate following her assessment of the clash. This came after the US Open champion hit out at her critics, describing the pressure on her shoulders as a "joke".
Raducanu said: "There's no pressure. Like, why is there any pressure? "I'm still 19. Like, it's a joke. I literally won a Slam."
