Emma Raducanu has admitted that she felt like she ‘died three times’ after overcoming the pain barrier to book a place in the Citi Open quarter-final. Raducanu defeated Colombian star Camilia Osorio 7-6, 7-6 on Thursday, but it was not all plain sailing for the US Open champion.
Throughout 2022 the British teenager has been forced to battle against injury problems that have undoubtedly hampered her progress throughout the season. And her latest win proved no different.
In the battling clash, Raducanu received medical treatment partway through for blisters on her racquet hand - an injury that ultimately cost her at this year’s Australian Open.
