World No 1 Iga Swiatek beat Britain’s Emma Raducanu 6-4, 6-4 to rech the semi-finals of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix Open in Stuttgart
Emma Raducanu became the latest victim of the in-form Iga Swiatek as the world No 1 advanced to the semi-finals of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix Open in Stuttgart.
Playing in her first WTA event on clay, Raducanu lost her serve in the opening game of the match and Swiatek dropped just three points on serve to comfortably take the first set. Raducanu was also broken in the first game of the second set but broke back immediately to love, only to drop serve in the next game before leaving the court for a medical time-out.
The only previous meeting between Swiatek and Raducanu had come in the quarter-finals of the girls’ singles at Wimbledon in 2018, when Swiatek won 6-0, 6-1.
