Ajla Tomljanovic was scheduled to play a rather emotional Wimbledon first round against local favorite Emma Raducanu. There was a lot of hype about this match after Emma’s inspiring run. Unfortunately, things went pretty bad since the young Brit had to retire because she was struggling to breathe when this match was on 6-4 3-0 scoreline for the Australian.
Ajla posted the following message on Instagram:
“Just wanted to take a moment and wish @emmaraducanu all the best after tonight.
I know it feels heartbreaking now but I have no doubt you will come back stronger and better. Congratulations on an incredible Wimbledon.”
