Emma Raducanu's unexpected retirement in the fourth round of Wimbledon left her conquerer Ajla Tomljanovic feeling 'bittersweet'.
Raducanu, 18, was the star attraction at SW19 having reached the fourth round of her home Grand Slam on debut.
Tomljanovic edged the first set 6-4 but the second became a formality as Raducanu looked out of sorts before being checked over by a doctor at 3-0 down.
'I am actually in shock, it's so bittersweet because Emma must be hurt to retire,' Tomljanovic told the BBC after confirmation that the British teenager was in no condition to continue.
'I am really sorry for her because I wish we could have finished it.
