Emma Raducanu has found herself in the spotlight after recently complaining about technology at Wimbledon following her exit at the hands of Aryna Sabalenka on Friday.
The tennis star put up a strong showing but it wasn't enough, with Sabalenka advancing to the fourth round with a 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 win.
Raducanu will be happy with her efforts at the All England Club, with the 22-year-old improving in 2025 so far.
Following her exit, the Briton has walked away with £152,000. Had she been able to make the round of 16, she'd have walked away with £240,000.

At this year's Wimbledon, Electronic Line Calling has replaced line judges in a hugely controversial move.
Speaking after her defeat to Sabalenka, Raducanu said the technology had been 'very wrong' on numerous occasions.
She also queried a line call with the chair umpire midway through the first set of her clash with the current world No 1.
Discussing that point, Raducanu stated: "Yeah, I mean, that call [against Sabalenka] was, like, for sure out.
"It's kind of disappointing, the tournament here, that the calls can be so wrong.
"For the most part they've been okay. It's just, like, I've had a few in my other matches, too, that have been very wrong. So yeah, I don't know.
"Hopefully they can kind of fix that."
Jack Draper has also hit out at the new system. Speaking after his own Wimbledon exit at the hands of Marin Cilic, he fumed: "I don’t think it’s 100 per cent accurate, in all honesty.

"A couple of the ones today, it showed a mark on the court. There’s no way the chalk would have showed."
Wimbledon tournament director Jamie Baker, however, responded to their complaints by insisting there's no issue.
"The concept of live line calling is absolutely standard across the Tour now – mandatory across the ATP Tour,’ he said.
"Two of the other Grand Slams have had it for four or five years.

"What that has meant is that the level of sophistication and certification around the system has become more professional and more robust as time has gone on.
"The accuracy and the reliability and the robustness of the system and the process as a whole, in terms of officiating, is in as good a place as it has been."
