Emma Raducanu again failed to take three match points as she was beaten 6-3 6-7 (9-11) 0-6 by Jessica Pegula in a hard-fought last-32 tie at the China Open. <\/b><\/p>\n
The British number one, who lost to Barbora Krejcikova<\/a> in similar fashion earlier this month, faded in a match that lasted two hours and 21 minutes.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, fellow Briton Sonay Kartal advanced to the round of 16 after beating Maya Joint in Beijing.<\/p>\n Raducanu, ranked 32 in the world, took the first set against world number seven Pegula before both players wrestled for control in the second – the usually composed American giving a shout of frustration and throwing her racquet to the floor in the fifth game. <\/p>\n Pegula went on to save two break points before a dramatic tie-break in which she saved three match points – two with backhand winners and the other on Raducanu’s serve – then dominated in the third set.<\/p>\n “It was a crazy match, ” said Pegula, who will meet Marta Kostyuk in the last 16 after she beat Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-4 6-2.<\/p>\n “That was really intense. I got myself back into the tie-break and just wanted to keep the pressure on.<\/p>\n “To be honest, I think I got a little bit lucky on two of those where I hit those two backhand winners but, other than that I just tried to keep fighting for as long as I could.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Emma Raducanu again failed to take three match points as she was beaten 6-3 6-7 (9-11) 0-6 by Jessica Pegula in a hard-fought last-32 tie at the China Open.
