Emma Raducanu suffered her third straight first-round defeat, losing 6-3, 7-5 to Ekaterina Alexandrova at the WTA 1000 Doha on Sunday.

The Briton, whose ranking did not allow her to enter the draw directly, had been awarded a wild-card, her 12th in 16 tournaments played.

An invitation that didn't make the difference, as Raducanu, despite a break in her favor in each set, finally lost in two sets to the world No. 26.

As a result of this latest defeat, she will drop four places in the WTA rankings to 60th in the world on Monday.

Alexandrova, recent winner of the Linz tournament, will face world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the 2nd round.

She needs to drop a tier and rebuild. The wildcards are not helping at all other than her appearance fees.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
