Emma Raducanu Reflects on Career Milestone After Miami Open Quarter-Final Defeat

The 22-year-old reached her first WTA 1000 quarter-final but faced physical challenges in a three-set loss to Jessica Pegula.

Emma Raducanu reached her first WTA 1000 quarter-final at the Miami Open, marking a significant step in her career resurgence.
Her tournament run ended in a three-set loss to Jessica Pegula, during which she struggled with dizziness and faintness due to humid conditions.
Raducanu’s victories against top players, including world No. 8 Emma Navarro, will elevate her back into the WTA top 50 rankings.
Operating without a full-time coach, she relied on informal support from trusted figures like Mark Petchey and Jane O’Donoghue during the tournament.
Raducanu plans to take a break to reassess her strategy and prepare for upcoming events, including the Billie Jean King Cup in April.
