Distractions in tennis are nothing new: the pop of champagne bottles at Wimbledon, ball kids taking a spill and apparently crying babies at the Cincinnati Open.
In a third-round match between WTA world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and British No. 1 Emma Raducanu Monday in Cincinnati, Raducanu was distracted by a constant cry from a child in the crowd. In a critical moment of the match, she paused her serve to take it up with the chair umpire.
