WTA 250 Portoroz (Slovenia). 1/16 final. Hard
Dayana Yastremskaya (Ukraine) – Emma Radukanu (Great Britain) – 2:6, 3:5 (RET., Yastremskaya)
In the last game, Dayana lost one point on the serve, then served again, attacking the net, but the ball flew off the racquet, and then the racquet itself flew out of Dayana’s hand. As a result – a hand injury and suspension from the match.
Yastremska lost 8 games in a row. He most recently won at the grass tournament in Birmingham (England) in June.
Note that Emma is the US Open 2021 champion, but this year she failed to defend the title, losing in round 1 of the tournament and dropping 72 places in the WTA rankings.
Next, the 19-year-old representative of Great Britain will play with the winner of the match Elizabeth Mandlik (USA, WTA 124) – Anna-Lena Friedsam (Germany, WTA 213).
