"Right now I'm on such a buzz and such a high" - British teenager Raducanu 'overwhelmed' as dream Wimbledon debut continues

Emma Raducanu gained a further legion of new fans as she stunned Sorana Cirstea on No.1 Court on Saturday afternoon at Wimbledon.

The British teenager who is awaiting A-Level results stormed past Cirstea 6-3, 7-5 to reach the second week at her home Grand Slam on debut where she will face Ajla Tomljanovic on Manic Monday.

She becomes just the fourth British teenager to reach the Last 16 in the Open Era and the first since Laura Robson in 2013 and is also the youngest at 18 years and 239 days old.

"My emotions were, I just couldn't put them into words really," Raducanu said, in her post-match press conference. "I was so overwhelmed. The last point, I kind of just dropped my racquet and fell to the floor. It was just also instinctive and in the moment. I had no idea what just happened. Right now I'm on such a buzz and such a high."

"I knew Sorana was a very tough opponent," Raducanu continued. "I just thought that playing on Court 1 at Wimbledon is what you dream of. Not many people get the opportunity to. I was like, 'Wow, this is such an experience, such an opportunity.'

"I just thought, 'Well, I'm just going to go out there and have fun.' I really think I did. I'd never played such good tennis in some of the points. I was just having so much fun."
