![THAT'S SIMPLY EMMA-PHATIC BY RADUCANU](https://cdn.magzter.com/1583504377/1720240361/articles/RiZpYyAsI1720254646058/THATS-SIMPLY-EMMAPHATIC-BY-RADUCANU.jpg)
AT the ballot box we got Starmer and on Centre Court Emma Raducanu served up a stormer.
The 2021 US Open champion ticked all the right boxes as she swept past Greek No.9 seed Maria Sakkari 6-2 6-3 to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time in three years.
And Raducanu said: "This is some of the most fun I've ever had on a tennis court."
If she keeps going for her shots with such conviction, the Briton's decision to skip the French Open in favour of an extended training spell could yet be vindicated spectacularly.
With Hollywood deity Dustin Hoffman Rain Man himself in the Royal Box, play on the outside courts may have been suspended due to the bad weather, but there were no issues for Raducanu under the All England Club roof.
