After the match, Raducanu said she was “proud” of pushing Sabalenka to the time when a third-set tiebreak to decide who won the third round match.

“She’s the world # 1 for a reason,” she said via TNT Sports. “I pushed her more than I did in Wimbledon, so it’s an improvement. It was also good to have this result in a tough court because it’s very different from grass and I’ve always thought grass fits me a lot more – and I still think so.

“So to have pushed her on such a tough court, I’m pretty proud.”
