EMMA Raducanu was knocked at the Madrid Open despite a positive performance on Clay-Court expert Marta KostYuk.
The former American Open Champion has reached the first quasi -finals of the WTA Tour Premier event for the first time at the Miami Open last month, but the Spanish capital will not repeat the feat.
Raducanu scored an impressive consecutive victory over Suzan Lamens in the opening round, but despite showing a glimpse of the world-class radiance, she scored 24th and won 6-4 2-6 6-2.
Raducanu won KOSTYUK comfortably at the last meeting in the same tournament three years ago, but it was not good to start here.
She digs into 1-3 to 3-3. Two double defects, two defects, immediately watched the drop again.
KOSTYUK was treated for the right wrist before the second set, and this time Raducanu was a stronger start.
But Raducanu’s poor match with Mark Petchey coach started the determinant to start the determinant when KOSTYUK moved to the finish line.
KOSTYUK, 22, said, “It wasn’t a good memory because I lost a very easy work with her three years ago.”
“I knew that Emma was a great fighter, and she had a lot of achievements and you can do amazing tennis. It will be a very satisfying battle for victory.”
Fleming: Rado canoe is looking for clay feet
Raducanu will take a positive thing despite the defeat of KOSTYUK.
Colin Fleming, speaking Sky Sports Tennis: “EMMA Raducanu is a competitor, she will be disappointed at this stage, but I think he can get a lot in this game when the dust is settled, which was a good level on the surface without a lot of tennis.
“If she can continue to work, if she can continue to find her feet on the clay, movement, balance, and the surface, she thinks that she will still have great results in this clay coat season, and she will serve her more tight and tight beyond that.
“A lot of positive to take from this.”
