Emma Raducanu Triumphs Over Top-10 Player at Eastbourne International

Posted : 27 June 2024

In a dramatic showdown at the Eastbourne International, Emma Raducanu secured her first victory over a top-10 player by defeating second seed Jessica Pegula. Raducanu saved a match point and triumphed with a score of 4-6, 7-6 (8/6), 7-5. Meanwhile, defending champion Madison Keys comfortably advanced to the quarterfinals.

 

Raducanu, a former US Open champion, displayed resilience as she won a critical tie-break to level the match and then maintained her composure in the final set. This victory marked a significant moment for Raducanu, who has faced challenges with injuries and form since her surprise win at the 2021 US Open. This week, she expressed her renewed passion for tennis.

 

The 21-year-old Raducanu, who missed last year's grass-court season due to surgery, chose not to participate in the French Open qualifiers or the Paris Olympics. However, she received a wild card entry for Wimbledon, which begins next week. Her performance against Pegula, who recently won the Berlin grass-court tournament, demonstrated her capability to overcome tough opponents.

 

In other matches, fourth seed Madison Keys overcame a tough challenge from Ukrainian qualifier Anhelina Kalinina, saving two set points in the first set and ultimately winning 7-6 (7/5), 6-1. Keys will next face French Open finalist Karolina Muchova. Additionally, Britain's Katie Boulter continued her impressive run by defeating fifth seed and former champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-4, 7-5, setting up a clash with third seed Jasmine Paolini.
