British tennis has suffered one of its worst Wimbledons of the 21st Century, after Katie Boulter was eliminated from the tournament to end hopes of home interest in the second week.
A partisan Centre Court crowd offered Boulter vocal encouragement, but could not save her from a mauling at the hands of Elena Rybakina, the reigning champion. Rybakina served seven aces in a routine 6-1, 6-1 victory.
The result was another blow to the reputation of the Lawn Tennis Association, the governing body which receives a subsidy of around £40 million per year from the Wimbledon surplus.
This was only the fourth time in the 21st Century that no Briton has reached the second week of Wimbledon. The same was true in 2018 – the year after Murray’s original hip broke down – and also in 2007 and 2005.
