Emma Raducanu withdraws from Guadalajara Open amid three-and-a-half-hour slog on WTA Tour
Emma Raducanu was forced to quit during her first round clash with Daria Saville at the Guadalajara Open – a match that was already the longest of the WTA Tour season so far. With three hours and 36 minutes on the clock, Britain’s US Open champion was trailing the Australian (formerly known by her maiden name, Gavrilova) 4-3 in the decider when she decided to call it a day. Ad/> Raducanu made a good start to her first match since the Australian Open, but it was a gruelling first set, which she eventually took 7-5 in one hour and 20 minutes.
