Emma Raducanu’s hopes of winning the Citi Open were ended by a defeat to Paula Badosa in the quarter-finals.
The 21-year-old made a promising start to her quarter-final with a 6-4 win over her Spanish opponent in the first set, but Badosa sent the match to a decider with a hard-fought 7-5 victory in the second.
Raducanu took a 2-0 lead in the decisive set, yet Badosa fought back and eventually ended the British player’s challenge in Washington DC by securing victory with a 6-4 third-set triumph.
Badosa now faces Caroline Dolehide in the semi-finals after the American beat compatriot Amanda Anisimova 7-6 (5) 6-1 in their last-eight clash.
