Overview

• At the China Open, Raducanu led Jessica Pegula by a set, lost a tense second-set tiebreak, then dropped the decider 6-0.
• The setback followed a Seoul defeat to Barbora Krejcikova in which Raducanu held three match points but failed to convert.
• Sky Sports analyst Annabel Croft cautioned that recurring misses could form a pattern opponents identify and target.
• Croft also flagged rhythm management as a concern, noting that lengthy set breaks can disrupt momentum.
• Pegula described the match as “crazy” and said she got “a little lucky,” while Raducanu is scheduled to play next at the WTA 1000 in Wuhan.
