Wuhan Open: Raducanu retires from opener with dizziness, Li advances (Image Source: IANS)
American Ann Li: British number one Emma Raducanu retired midway from her first-round match against American Ann Li at the Wuhan Open due to dizziness after having her blood pressure and temperature checked.
The 2021 US Open champion made a solid start to her tournament debut, forcing a volley to break Li in the opening game. However, the American responded with a series of forehand winners, along with four aces, to win six consecutive games and take the first set.
By contrast, Raducanu's forehand wing consistently leaked errors. After she double-faulted to fall behind a double break in the second set, the Briton was visited on court by the doctor, and called it quits following that consultation, WTA reports.
