Disaster and heartbreak… First round defeat at Wimbledon against Dayana Yastremska (WTA 42) 6-7 (3), 1-6. 💔😞

Raducanu is the only qualifier ever to win a Grand Slam title but Yastremska increased her tally of wins in Melbourne to eight with a 6-3 6-4 victory on Rod Laver Arena.
The stories are not exactly comparable, given Yastremska was ranked 21 in the world as a 19-year-old before serving a six-month provisional suspension for a failed doping test, for which she was later deemed to bear no fault.
But it is nevertheless a very impressive run from the Ukrainian, now 23, who is set to soar back into the top 30 from her current ranking of 93.
Yastremska is the second qualifier in the Open era to reach the last four at the Australian Open in the women’s singles after Christine Dorey in 1978 and she will face Qinwen Zheng on Thursday, after the Chinese No 1 saw off Anna Kalinskaya in three sets.
