Wimbledon 2023 results: Katie Boulter loses to Elena Rybakina

Live across BBC TV, radio and online with extensive coverage on BBC iPlayer, Red Button, Connected TVs and mobile app. More coverage detailsKatie Boulter's bid to reach the Wimbledon last 16 for the first time ended quickly as she was outclassed by defending champion Elena Rybakina.

The 24-year-old dominated with her first serve and broke Boulter five times to move into the fourth round. When the dust settles, she will reflect on an encouraging British grass-court season which she hopes will be the springboard to greater consistency across the tour. The Briton was able to replicate that level in her first two matches at the All England Club, hitting winners and serving strongly to beat Australia's Daria Saville and Bulgaria's Viktoriya Tomova.Rybakina quickly found her rhythm and that spelt trouble for Boulter, who was unable to make a dent on her opponent's serve before being broken herself in the fourth game.

The players only walked on to court at 20:48 BST after slow progress on Saturday, leading to thoughts they might not beat the 23:00 curfew set to stop the day's play at the All England Club.
