Emma Raducanu’s Wimbledon hopes were crushed on Centre Court by France’s Caroline Garcia as the golden girl of British sport suffered a 6-3 6-3 second-round loss, while big-hitting American John Isner sent two-times champion Andy Murray crashing out of the men’s singles second round 6-4 7-6(4) 6-7(3) 6-4 with booming serves and a barrage of aces.
The 19-year-old Raducanu, who rocketed to fame with her spellbinding U. S. Open triumph last year, did not play badly but had no answer to Garcia’s superior firepower.
