British number one Emma Raducanu swept aside 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova to reach the Wimbledon third round.

The 22-year-old produced an outstanding performance marked by authority and intensity on Centre Court to win 6-3 6-3 in 82 minutes.

It was a level the former US Open champion will need to replicate - if not improve - when she meets world number one and top seed Aryna Sabalenka next and equal her best run at the Championships.

Raducanu was the third British player through to the third round on Wednesday, following earlier victories for Sonay Kartal and Cameron Norrie.
