Wimbledon: Caroline Garcia Defeats Emma Raducano

-

The 19-year-old Briton was outpowered by France's Caroline Garcia in a 6-3 6-3 defeat in the second round.

"For me, everything is learning," said Raducanu, who was seeded 10th.

Raducanu has not won successive matches at a Grand Slam since her remarkable triumph at last year's US Open.

She conveyed positivity in her post-match news conference, adding: "Caroline is a great player. I struggled to find a way through her.

"But it's OK because coming into this I didn't really have many expectations of myself."
