Former British No 1 Johanna Konta has leapt to the defence of Emma Raducanu after the teenager came under fire for her post-Wimbledon exit comments.
Raducanu was thrust into the spotlight following her run to the fourth round in SW19 last year before becoming the first ever singles qualifier to win a Grand Slam at the US Open.
A level of expectation was therefore placed on the 19-year-old coming into this year's tournament at the All England Club, despite her preparations being hampered by a side strain.
