Wimbledon day six: Emma Raducanu on laundry duty, Nick Kyrgios forgets tennis shoes, duo air dirty laundry

Emma Raducanu lit up the middle Saturday at Wimbledon as her fairytale run continued with a mature win over Sorana Cirstea in the third round.
The 18-year-old, ranked 338 in the world, only played one WTA Tour match before this tournament but is now in the fourth round after a stunning win over Cirstea and carrying the home flag.
Fellow Briton Cameron Norrie is out after a Centre Court loss to Roger Federer, while women’s world number one Ashleigh Barty made serene progress and men’s second seed Daniil Medvedev came from two sets down to beat former finalist Marin Cilic.
Here we look at the events of day six.

The third-round match between Ajla Tomljanovic and Jelena Ostapenko ended in an unsavoury fashion as the two players were arguing on court. Tomljanovic called her opponent a “liar” after she called for the physio before a service game deep into the second set. The pair traded insults during the match and continued their disagreement at the net once the Australian had won before continuing to air their dirty laundry in their respective post-match press conferences.
