TAMARA PRENN AT WIMBLEDON: When Maria Sakkari was asked about what she recalled from her last - and only - meeting with Emma Raducanu, the Greek No 1 gave away very little. 'I don't remember, I'm sorry,' Sakkari told enquiring reporters after her victory against Arantxa Rus. 'It was too long ago.' 2021 was a long time ago, it can be conceded, for a top-10 player battling week-in, week-out, at tournments around the world. But Sakkari could be forgiven for attempting to block their US Open semi-final from her memory.
