At the end of a bruising, high-quality first set of her third battle in Rome, Emma Raducanu had good reason to seethe. After the significant effort it took to take control against Veronika Kudermetova, Raducanu balked at the chance to serve out the set. She returned to her seat trailing, her opponent carrying all the momentum.
Instead of allowing her frustration to consume her, Raducanu maintained her composure and found her way back with an emphatic exhibition of problem-solving. She emerged from the Forco Italico with another impressive win, recovering to defeat Kudermetova 5-7, 6-0, 6-1 and reach the fourth round of the Italian Open.
