Emma Raducanu ‘really proud’ after ending losing run with win over Sakkari

Raducanu wins 6-4, 6-2 in Dubai after four losses in a row
‘I’m really pleased with how I fought and competed’

Emma Raducanu ended her losing run in style with a straight-sets victory over Greece’s Maria Sakkari in the Dubai Duty Free Championships.

Raducanu came into the match on the worst run of results in her career, having lost four successive matches. But the former US Open champion made the ideal start with a break of serve in the opening game and rounded off a 6-4, 6-2 victory in fine fashion with her third ace of the 90-minute contest.
