Emma Raducanu’s impressive run to the Miami Open quarter-finals has come to an end at the hands of fourth seed Jessica Pegula.
The American survived a mid-match surge from Raducanu en route to a tough 6-4 6-7 (3) 6-2 victory.
The British number two had numerous opportunities to snag momentum during the match, but repeatedly let them slip through her fingers.
She converted just one of her six opportunities to break fearsome serves, and despite rallying in the second set to force a decider, was ultimately unable to match Pegula in the third.
Despite the loss, Raducanu’s run to the final eight in Miami marked her best performance in a tournament since being crowned 2021 US Open champion.
