What happened during Raducanu's match?

It was a close first set, which at one point Raducanu led 4-2, before Sabalenka came back to take it to a tie-breaker before edging ahead to take the set.
Raducanu then led 4-1 in the second set, before Sabalenka won five games in a row to make it through to the fourth round.
After the match Raducanu explained that despite the result, she was proud of her effort.
"It is difficult to take right now," Raducanu said.
"It's hard to take a loss like that but at the same time I've pushed Aryna, who is a great champion, so I have to be proud."
Sabalenka was full of praise for her opponent: "Emma played such incredible tennis and she pushed me really hard to get this win.
"I had to fight for every point to get this win. I'm pretty sure she will get back to the top 10 soon," she added,
Sabalenka will now face Belgian 24th seed Elise Mertens in the fourth round on Sunday.
Which British players are left at Wimbledon?

It was better news for Great Britain's Sonay Kartal who powered her way through into the fourth round for the first time.
She beat France's Diane Parry with a straight-set 6-4 6-2 victory.
She will now face world number 50 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Sunday, with a place in the quarter-finals awaiting the winner.
Kartal is now the only Brit left in the women's singles draw.

And former British number one Cameron Norrie remains the last Briton standing in the men's singles draw.
He is also through to the round of sixteen, after an impressive straight-set win over Italy's Mattia Bellucci.
There could also be more British success to come, as the Junior Championships, along with the wheelchair and 14 & under junior competitions, get underway in the second week of The Championships.
