Wimbledon LIVE: Andy Murray defeated in four sets by John Isner after Emma Raducanu also exits

Wimbledon enters day three at the All England Club but home favourite Emma Raducanu is out of the tournament after a 6-3 6-3 defeat to Caroline Garcia sealed a second-round exit from the Championships. Hopes were high for Raducanu as she returned to Centre Court but was second best to Garcia as the Frenchwoman displayed clean hitting and power in taking the victory in straight sets.

Andy Murray will look to lift the mood, with the two-time Wimbledon champion next in actin on Centre with the prospect of some late drama against the big-serving John Isner. Earlier, Novak Djokovic raced to a 6-1 6-4 6-2 win against the Australian 26-year-old Thanasi Kokkinakis, that was as comfortable as the scoreline suggests.

Cameron Norrie (vs Jaume Munar), Heather Watson (vs Qiang Wang) and Harriet Dart (vs Rebeka Masarova) will look to keep up the momentum from an impressive first two days for British players at SW19. The journey is over for Ryan Peniston, however, after the 26-year-old debutant fell in straight sets to experienced American Steve Johnson.

Elsewhere the exciting Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz (vs Tallon Griekspoor) and women’s world No2 Ons Jabeur (vs Katarzyna Kawa) take to Court 2 and Court 3 respectively this afternoon, while Wimbledon champions Angelique Kerber and Garbine Muguruza also feature on Court 2.

17:53 , Jamie Braidwood

Right, if anyone could lift the mood in Centre Court, it’s probably the very man who has just walked out into the evening sun.

Andy Murray takes on John Isner next, as the 35-year-old looks to advance to the third round.

Emma Raducanu knocked out of Wimbledon by France’s Caroline Garcia

17:50 , Jamie Braidwood

Emma Raducanu has been knocked out of Wimbledon by Caroline Garcia in the second round. The 19-year-old US Open champion was overpowered by her French opponent’s fierce serve and groundstrokes as she went down 6-3, 6-3 on Centre Court.

Breaking report by my colleague Lawrence Ostlere here on Centre Court.

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu 3-6 3-6 Caroline Garcia - Game, set and match

17:42 , Jamie Braidwood

The stats show just how Garcia was able to hit Raducanu off the court. She had 25 winners to Raducanu’s 10 and the British No 1 was unable to do enough from behind the baseline, nor in the return game.

There will be plenty of noise and reaction after this second-round exit, but it should all be taken with the reminder that Raducanu’s only full match before today of her grass-court campaign came on Monday due to the side-strain injury that disrupted her preparations.

Let’s hope she can get a more consistent run of matches under her belt as she heads to the US for the hard-court swing.

17:37 , Jamie Braidwood

Caroline Garcia gives a very nice on-court interview, but there are very few people listening as the atmosphere goes flat. This was not the result an expectant Centre Court crowd were hoping for, but there should still be a touch of context given Raducanu’s inexperience on tour and disrupted preparation for the tournament. Still, after her performance in the opening match, a second-round exit does sting.

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu 3-6 3-6 Caroline Garcia - Game, set and match

17:33 , Jamie Braidwood

It’s brutal, but a fair result. Garcia was the better play on the day and there is no wave from Raducanu as she exits Centre Court.

17:32 , Jamie Braidwood

Garcia stays on top of the baseline rallies and Raducanu nets, still struggling to adjust to the pace. Centre Court responds at 0-15, but Raducanu nets again as Garcia attacks the forehand.

That’s better, though, as she thows in a drop shot and then puts the ball behind Garcia, and a big serve gets her to 30-30.

Huge point. Raducanu lands the serve down the middle but Garcia is able to hang up the return! Raducanu can’t do enough on the ball, and she eventually nets.

17:27 , Jamie Braidwood

Raducanu gets off on a strong foot with a winner, before Garcia nets to bring up a slight opening at 15-30. Thud. Garcia responds with an ace down the middle, and as she advances into the court, Raducanu can only net on the forehand pass.

40-30, but Garcia gets tight again as the backhand drifts behind the baseline. Deuce. Raducanu can’t do enough on the second serve and Garcia eats up the forehand winner down the line. And that’s brilliant from Garcia. The ace flashes down the middle and Raducanu must hold serve to stay in Wimbledon.

17:19 , Jamie Braidwood

Raducanu starts off with a winner but Garcia marches back, recovering from the loss of focus in the previous game. A brutal forehand winner sets up two break points at 15-40, and she is inches away from it as the backhand narrowly misses the line.

30-40, and this time Raducanu does get the better of the exchange from behind the baseline! Raducanu hangs on and Garcia nets. Deuce.

Oh no. Double fault from Raducanu. Centre Court groans and Raducanu then plays a backhand wide. It hands the advantage back to Garcia.

Wimbledon 2022: *Emma Raducanu 3-6 3-3 Caroline Garcia

17:14 , Jamie Braidwood

Raducanu is in trouble now. She is a set and a break down and Garcia is playing very well. Centre Court tries to rouse the 19-year-old, and it works as Raducanu hits two clean winners to move to 0-30!

That was a brilliant backhand pass from Raducanu, but she goes for too much on the forehand off Garcia’s serve. It’s wide, and Garcia follows with an ace.

30-30, but Raducanu is still in this. And Garcia blinks! A double fault is followed up by a forehand wide, and Raducanu breaks back! That was very tight from Garcia, but Raducanu will take it.

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu 3-6 2-3 Caroline Garcia* - Garcia breaks

17:09 , Jamie Braidwood

Imposing start from Garcia to flash the forehand winner, and it’s followed by more brilliant hitting as she outlasts Raducanu and places the backhand winner into the open court.

0-30, but Raducanu finds the strong first serve. But she can’t get out of trouble, as Garcia forces Raducanu back behind the baseline and advances to put away the volley.

Two break points, and the clean hitting from Garcia is again too much. Raducanu is unable to keep up and the forehand drifts wide.

Wimbledon 2022: *Emma Raducanu 3-6 2-2 Caroline Garcia

17:07 , Jamie Braidwood

So solid from Garcia. A backhand winner is followed by more tricky depth, as Raducanu struggles to return the ball down low from the baseline. No problems there for the Frenchwoman in holding to 15.

Wimbledon 2022: Bit watch

17:05 , Jamie Braidwood

A sensational victory for Harriet Dart over Rebeka Masarova (6-1, 6-3) seals her place in the second round, making it 10 British players in total! Brilliant from Dart, who continues her grass-court form.

Meanwhile, Cameron Norrie is 2-1 down to Jaume Munar on Court No 1. A long way back for the ninth seed to advance to round number three.

17:02 , Jamie Braidwood

A puff of chalk brings up 40-0 on Raducanu’s serve and as Garcia pushes a forehand wide, it seals a rapid hold for the British No 1.

She may be a set down but it feels the momentum is slightly in her favour at the start of the second.

Wimbledon 2022: *Emma Raducanu 3-6 1-1 Caroline Garcia

17:00 , Jamie Braidwood

Positive signs from Raducanu as she pumps her first following her point of the match. A forehand whipped into the corner is followed by the backhand winner out wide. 15-30.

Great response from Garcia to send the ace out wide, but Raducanu can still sense the break point chance.

Brilliant winner from Raducanu! She attacked the Garcia second serve and recovered from good depth from Garcia, who approached the net. Raducanu saw her chance and pulled out the backhand pass! What an angle.

Break point, but Garcia keeps her cool. She is awarded for her aggressive approach as she puts away the volley.

Still, better from Raducanu.

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu 3-6 1-0 Caroline Garcia*

16:53 , Jamie Braidwood

Raducanu starts the second set on serve. Although her opening win came in straight sets, that was unusual for Raducanu this season, with all of her other matches in 2022 going to three sets. This, therefore, is hopefully not a shock to the system but she will need to keep her composure if she wants to get back into this.

Raducanu wheels away in mid-court to send a backhand past Garcia, who responds with a winner to get to 30-30. Already a pressure point for Raducanu but she stays alive as Garcia goes long following a baseline rally. Garcia again shows better power, dominating Raducanu on a backhand exchange.

Deuce. The first point is a gift as Garcia goes long but Raducanu then does very well to dig out a lob after Garcia came forward on the backhand slice. Garcia nets stretching for the overhead.

Wimbledon 2022: *Emma Raducanu 3-6 Caroline Garcia - Garcia takes the opening set

16:48 , Jamie Braidwood

That was a fairly clean set from Raducanu, who made just three unforced errors. Garcia has dominated the rallies though, with 10 winners to Raducanu’s five. Raducanu has been unable to hit freely with Garcia striking the ball so cleanly and with more power from the baseline.

Wimbledon 2022: *Emma Raducanu 3-6 Caroline Garcia - Garcia takes the opening set

16:44 , Jamie Braidwood

A big return game for Raducanu starts with an error off the Garcia serve, with the Frenchwoman then pounding the line with a serve out wide to get to 30-0.

Garcia goes long but then turns defence into attack brilliantly on the next point, in what was the rally of the match. It’s too much power and pace for Raducanu, and it brings up two set points.

Ah, that was a chance. The ball sat up for Raducanu in mid-court but as she slipped, Garcia puts the forehand winner away.

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu 3-5 Caroline Garcia*

16:37 , Jamie Braidwood

Raducanu, now serving to stay in the set, pushes a forehand down the line wide, but follows it up with a strong serve that Garcia can only get a frame to.

A loose return from Garcia is followed by a double fault from Raducanu. Not a great time for that and there is pressure on this 30-30 point.

‘Mon!’ cries Raducanu as Garcia’s blocked return sails long. Raducanu is faced with a second serve at 40-30 and Garcia attacks it brilliantly.

Deuce. Again Garcia attacks the Raducanu backhand. Ruthless hitting from her and Raducanu is forced into the error.

Set point. But a good angled seve fom Raducanu can only be sliced long by Garcia. And again, this time with the serve out wide, and Raducanu has advantage.

And Raducanu escapes! Three errors in a row from Garcia seals the hold for Raducanu. Garcia will now serve for the set.

Harmony Tan doubles partner ‘very sad’ due to late withdrawal after Serena Williams win

16:33 , Jack Rathborn

Harmony Tan’s Wimbledon doubles partner Tamara Korpatsch admits she is “very sad” after the French player’s late withdrawal following the impact of the epic win over Serena Williams.

Tan triumphed late on Tuesday evening after more than three hours on Centre Court.

But the physical effects appear to have pushed the world No 115 to prioritise her singles campaign at the All England Club.

A late message was sent to Korpatsch, who was due to play her first-ever Grand Slam doubles match, wit the first round match against Nadiia Kichenok and Raluca Olaru cancelled.

30-0, but then Garcia gets tight. A double fault is followed by a forehand that goes long. 30-30.

Garcia again, hitting with more power than Raducanu, goes for the backhand and Raducanu nets.

A return from Raducanu goes an inch or so long of the baseline and suddenly the Frenchwoman leads 5-2.

Great aggression from Raducanu. She then drifts a forehand long and it looksfor all the world that Garcia has done the same. However the ball was called in.

30-15, and Garcia fires a forehand winner crosscourt and follows it up with a big serve down the middle. Nice hold.

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu 2-2 Caroline Garcia*

16:21 , Jamie Braidwood

Garcia puts a return at Raducanu’s feet and a double fault brings it back to 40-30, but a serve out wide is followed by a loose backhand from Garcia and Raducanu takes the hold.

Work to do for Raducanu but still a long way to go. She gets another look at Garcia’s service game at 15-30 after Garcia pulls a forehand wide from inside the baseline.

A backhand into the net from Garcia brings up break point. The Frenchwoman saves the first but then nets on a simple volley at the net, and another error from Garcia - this time on a short forehand sees Raducanu get back on terms.

Raducanu raises her right arm and waves to the Centre Court crowd as she emerges from under the Royal Box ahead of her match against Caroline Garcia.

There’s a big smile on Raducanu’s face as she begins her bid to reach the third round.

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu vs Caroline Garcia

16:00 , Jamie Braidwood

Raducanu on Garcia, the world No 55 who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2017:

“Caroline is a great opponent. I played her earlier on in the year in Indian Wells and it was a tricky match. She plays pretty fast tennis. I’m ready for that.”

Emma Raducanu knows quick wins could be key to Wimbledon hopes

15:53 , Jamie Braidwood

Emma Raducanu is hoping to rediscover her grand slam efficiency at Wimbledon this year.

The 19-year-old famously did not drop a set through 10 matches at the US Open having also claimed three straight-sets wins at Wimbledon.

Since then, though, Raducanu has found herself dragged into a number of long matches, and her opening-round victory over Alison Van Uytvanck on Monday was her first two-set match at a slam since the US Open final.

With her history of injury niggles and recent recovery from a side strain, avoiding staying on court too long could be crucial to Raducanu’s hopes of a good run, and she will be looking for more of the same against France’s Caroline Garcia on Wednesday.

“I think that it helps at slams that you get a day off in between, so I think that is pretty valuable,” said Raducanu.

“I felt good out there. There were some tough moments in the second set (against Van Uytvanck) physically, but I told myself, ‘Push through, if you win in two sets, then you don’t have to play three’. That’s the tactic.”

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu vs Caroline Garcia

15:50 , Jamie Braidwood

Raducanu on how she gets “fired up” for the grand slams.

“I’d say big matches and big occasions are the ones that I really sort of get the most fired up for. It’s definitely a different feeling. I love playing on the big stages, big occasions.

“I think that instead of, like, shying away from it, I really thrive in that. It’s special to come through the first round because first rounds are always tricky. There’s definitely an element of, I haven’t done this before, I haven’t played on Centre Court, you haven’t played a match at that tournament.”

Wimbledon 2022: Emma Raducanu vs Caroline Garcia

15:47 , Jamie Braidwood

A gentle warm-up to the action on Centre Court as Djokovic cruises to a comfortable win. Up next, Emma Raducanu returns to Centre Court to face Caroline Garcia, as she looks to build on her impressive opening victory against Alison Van Uytvanck.

It was a tricky first-round match for Raducanu, but it was great to see the British No 1 adjust to the challenge and begin to open up on her forehand side. The 19-year-old will try to take that mentality into this second round match against France’s Garcia, an opponent Raducanu defeated at Indian Wells earlier this year.

Game, set, match! Novak Djokovic 6-1 6-4 6-2 Thanasi Kokkinakis

15:38 , Lawrence Ostlere

Kokkinakis pushes Djokovic to 30-all before a bizarre point ends with both of them at the net and the Australian facing the wrong way as he is gently lobbed, causing them both to chuckle along with Centre Court crowd. Djokovic then double faults to hand Kokkinakis a break point, but the Serbian motors through the next three points to bring the match to an end.

Djokovic will play either Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo or Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic in the next round.

Wimbledon 2022: Upset alert!

15:34 , Jamie Braidwood

Down goes Casper Ruud! The men’s No 3 seed is out after a 3-6 6-2 7-5 6-4 defeat to France’s Ugo Humbert. The French Open finalist leaves Wimbledon after just the second round, not that he was expected to go far in SW19. Ruud is not a strong player on the grass and his seeding of third overall rather masked that. Still, it opens up that quarter of the draw and it could be good news for Cameron Norrie - who has taken the opening set 6-4 against Jaume Munar.

Never take for granted the difference between clay and grass...

Wimbledon 2022: *Novak Djokovic 6-1 6-4 5-2 Thanasi Kokkinakis

15:32 , Lawrence Ostlere

Kokkinakis puts up a strong hold in what may well be his final game won of this year’s Wimbledon, producing won well-crafted crosscourt winner. Djokovic will serve for the match and a place in the third round.

15:29 , Lawrence Ostlere

Better from Kokkinakis who forces Djokovic’s serve to deuce, drawing a mistake from the No1 seed at the net. But Djokovic will not be denied, winning the next point before racing on to a telegraphed drop shot and clinching the game.

15:16 , Jamie Braidwood

Two rapid holds off serve, but for Kokkinakis the problem is he can’t get close to Djokovic’s serve. He’s winning close to 90 per cent of his first serve points.

Wimbledon 2022: *Novak Djokovic 6-1 6-4 1-0 Thanasi Kokkinakis - Djokovic breaks

15:13 , Jamie Braidwood

An immediate challenge for Kokkinakis in the opening game - the pressure from Djokovic is like a vice and he drags his opponent into an awkward opening deuce. Djokovic just will not go away as he sends Kokkinakis chasing around the court in the longest rally of the match so far, as Kokkinakis goes wide.

Kokkinakis errors again and it sets up break point - and that’s just too good from Djokovic! He has no right to win this point after Kokkinakis serves out wide, but the return is awkward and snapped into his feet at the net. Kokkinakis picks it up but Djokovic is too fast, and Kokkinakis can only shovel the volley wide.

This could get wrapped up very quickly now.

The top-ranked British men’s player Cameron Norrie is underway against Jaume Munar, today on the more appropriate setting of Court No 1 for his second round match.

14:53 , Jamie Braidwood

Supreme from Djokovic, as he seals another hold to love with a lovely angled touch at the net following a drop shot from Kokkinakis.

He moves a game away at 5-3 but Kokkinakis will try to at least ask the question. He puts himself under pressure with a double fault at 15-30, but responds with a clipped forehand that catches the line.

Still, pressure, especially as Kokkinakis drops one into the net to bring up set point. Djokovic lets him off the hook as his return sails long.

What defence from Djokovic! Kokkinakis bombs down a big serve but Djokovic stretches to stay in the point, before Kokkinakis pushes a forehand drive wide.

Kokkinakis pounds away a forehand winner at the net. Losing his second service game of this second set was a big blow to the Australian. With that serve and his power he could have dragged Djokovic into deep into a set, but as it is Djokovic is cruising on his serve and towards a 2-0 lead.

It’s another disappointing performance at a grand slam for Kontaveit - who is still yet to progress further than the quarter-finals at a major.

A 6-4 6-0 win for Niemeier looks surprising, but Kontaveit was not fancied to go far in this tournament.

Djokovic snaps the backhand return at Kokkinakis and then follows in a forehand down the line to put away the volley at the net. Long way back now for the Australian.

Now, can Kokkinakis keep his head up? Losing the opener 6-1 will hurt but a love to hold to kick off the second set will boost his confidence. Big serving from the tall and rangy Australian, as Djokovic nets on the return on game point.
