Overview

• Jessica Pegula beat Emma Raducanu 3-6, 7-6 (11-9), 6-0 after saving three match points in a second‑set tiebreak in Beijing.
• Raducanu led 5-2 in that tiebreak but could not convert chances as Pegula hit two backhand winners under pressure to stay alive.
• Pegula swept the deciding set 6-0, with Raducanu winning only 12 points in the third set.
• The loss mirrors Raducanu’s defeat to Barbora Krejcikova in Seoul last week, where she also squandered three match points before fading in the third set.
• Pegula advances to the last 16 to face Marta Kostyuk, while Raducanu misses a live‑ranking rise that would have taken her to No 29 with a win.
