One of the biggest wins of her career!
Emma Raducanu has conjured up one of her biggest ever career wins Emma Raducanu produced a brilliant comeback win over world No.5 Jessica Pegula at the Eastbourne International on Wednesday ahead of Wimbledon – the first time she has ever defeated a player inside the top 10.
The Brit and the American continued to hold their nerve on serve until a dramatic game 10 which saw Raducanu earn herself a set-point opportunity – playing some of her very best tennis – but Pegula somehow fended it off to deny her opponent. That saw the second-set score remain locked at 5-5 – and it then went to 6-6 to set up a tie-breaker – as Raducanu came out on top 8-6 to take a set from a top 10 opponent for the very first time and to force a third-and-final deciding set.
