Emma Raducanu enjoys lunch with fellow tennis pro Fran Jones after being branded 'serial choker' by trolls on social media after failing to get through to Wimbledon's second week


The tennis star, 21, and her pal, 23, looked in good spirits as they caught up while dining al fresco.

Left-hander Sun, who had never won a grand slam main-draw match before this week and is now on a seven-match winning streak, racked up 52 winners compared with just 19 from Emma and will now face Donna Vekic for a place in the semi-finals. It had not been a comfortable 24 hours for Emma, with the positive vibes from her three impressive wins given a hammering by her decision to deny Andy Murray a Wimbledon swansong by pulling out of their mixed doubles opener citing a stiff wrist. Like Emma, Sun comes from a cosmopolitan background, with a Chinese mother and Croatian father - as well as a British-German stepfather - while she recently switched back to representing New Zealand having previously played under the flag of Switzerland, where she grew up.
