Emma Raducanu was undoubtedly hoping for a different outcome at the Wuhan WTA 1000. But the 22-year-old British player experienced a nightmare on the court.

Facing American Ann Li for the second time this season, Raducanu retired mid-way through the second set, while trailing 6-1, 4-1. From the first few games, something seemed off. Less sharp than usual, the 2021 US Open champion was in serious trouble.

At 1-4 in the second set, she called for the medical staff, who promptly checked her blood pressure. A few minutes later, she decided to withdraw.

On the other hand, Li has seen a nice rise in the rankings this year (46th). With this qualification for the second round, she will once again have a tough challenge against the world number 11: Russian player Ekaterina Alexandrova.

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.
