LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - Highlights of day six of the Wimbledon tennis championships on Saturday (times GMT):

1400 TEENAGERS RADUCANU AND GAUFF POWER INTO LAST 16

Emma Raducanu became the youngest British woman to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon in the Open Era when the 18-year-old wildcard beat world number 45 Sorana Cirstea 6-3 7-5.

"When I was packing to come into the bubble, my parents said: 'Aren't you packing too much match kit?' I think I'm going to have to do some laundry tonight," Raducanu said.

The Wimbledon debutante was joined in the next round by 17-year-old American Coco Gauff, who eased past Slovenian Kaja Juvan 6-3 6-3.
