PREVIEW

Raducanu Falls to Pegula in Miami Quarter-Final but Regains Form and Confidence. Emma Raducanu’s promising Miami Open run ended in the quarter-finals with a hard-fought 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-2 loss to world number four Jessica Pegula. Raducanu impressed with her aggressive play and mental resilience, especially in the second set where she fought back despite needing medical treatment for dizziness. The 22-year-old Brit had four set points, required a doctor’s visit and cooling towels, but still managed to level the match with a gutsy tie-break win. Pegula regained control in the third set to advance, while praising Raducanu’s fight in a “tough” battle. Despite the loss, Raducanu earned notable wins over Emma Navarro and Amanda Anisimova, reaching a WTA 1000 quarter-final for the first time. Her return to form follows a period marked by injuries, coaching changes, and off-court challenges. Raducanu’s new support team, including former coach Mark Petchey, helped her adopt a more relaxed and expressive approach in Miami. She’ll return to the WTA top 50 and now sets her sights on building momentum during the European clay-court season.
