Emma Raducanu’s fairytale run at the Washington Open is over, having lost in the semi-finals to Anna Kalinskaya. It had been an impressive week for the Brit, who reached that stage in both the singles and doubles. Alas, both proved a step too far, as they was forced to retire from the latter, before then losing in the former format last night.

Emma Raducanu was bundled out of the Washington Open in a 6-4 6-3 semi-final defeat to Anna Kalinskaya. The British number one matched the Russian early, using her superior serve to pick up five aces. However, she was frequently unable to take full advantage of her firepower as she failed to convert any of her four break point opportunities.
