Emma Raducanu was beaten in the second round at the Eastbourne Open in a thrilling contest with Australian tennager Maya Joint who clinched a third set tie break to win 4-6 6-1 7-6 (7-4).
The British No.1 never truly found her best form in the match but doggedly stuck to her task in the opening set to overcome an early break and take advantage of Joint’s scattered play to clinch it 6-4.
