U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu beats Polona Hercog 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 for first WTA win
U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu had to work hard for her first win on the WTA Tour after her fairy-tale New York triumph as she recovered from a set down to beat world number 124 Polona Hercog 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 in the Transylvania Open in Romania on Tuesday.
Still without a coach after parting ways with former Davis Cup player Andrew Richardson and having skipped the Kremlin Cup in Moscow, world number 23 Raducanu had sought to temper the expectations but showed her class in a difficult match. With the momentum going her way, Raducanu raised her level by a notch and roared to 5-0 in the deciding set, winning 77 per cent of her first serve points to close out the victory in Cluj-Napoca.
