Emma Raducanu’s battling display was not enough as she suffered a straight-sets defeat to Ons Jabeur in the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open last 16 on Wednesday. The former US Open champion found herself three games down in the first set, but mounted a fightback before her Tunisian opponent closed it out on her fifth attempt at set point. Two-time Wimbledon finalist Jabeur stepped on the gas in the second set though, with the Briton taking just one more game as she suffered a 6-4 6-1 loss.
'I come from a very small country that has a lot of potential. 'I'm very proud to be a Tunisian and an Arab woman to show nothing is impossible.' Jabeur's quarter-final opponent Haddad Maia was involved in match with Linette which lasted nearly four hours, with the No 6 seed eventually prevailing 6-7 , 6-3, 7-5. Also through to the quarter-finals is seventh seed Daria Kasatkina, who beat qualifier Ashlyn Krueger in straight sets 6-3 7-5 in Wednesday's early game.
