EMMA Raducan suffered the third round of tournament in two weeks when he lost 6-3 7-5 in the Qatar Open at 6-3 7-5.
The 22 -year -old Britain received a second consecutive wildcard for the latest tournament of the WTA in the Middle East, but won a strong lottery for the fresh Russian world NO 25 last week.
Raducanu impressed Alexandrova with a series of consecutive sets in Australia’s first round last month, and Tuesday served Abu Davi’s Marketa Vondrousova better than a straight defeat, but ultimately Russia became too strong at an important moment. In Doha’s solid court.
In the third round of Melbourne, 6-1 6-0 in Melbourne was lost to IGA Sweatek 6-1 6-0, three consecutive rounds 1 defeat (Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Qatar) ran to three consecutive defeats. Open Champion has now lost four games. For the first time in her career.
Brit started well on Sunday by asking Alexandrova’s serve for the first time by establishing the first 3-1 lead (3-1), but Russia is straight for the next five games and the first set. I hit it.
Even if the initial exchange of the second set leads to 3-1 to 3-1, the Raducanu could not completely switch the advantage through the set, and the definitive rest of Alexandrova, which was tied to 5-5, could not prove the difference.
Raducanu lost all three games because Nick Cavaday had been a coach for health reasons since the Australian opening.
The DOHA result means that Alexandrova, not Raducanu, will face the world’s No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the second round of Tuesday.
