British Star Saves Match Point to Reach Eastbourne Quarterfinals

Emma Raducanu, the 18-year-old British phenom, continues to make waves on the WTA Tour. On Wednesday, Raducanu saved a match point to knock out world number five Jessica Pegula and reach the quarterfinals at Eastbourne. This victory marks Raducanu's first ever match win against a top-10 player.

A Shocking Run at the US Open

Raducanu's impressive performance at Eastbourne comes on the heels of her stunning run at the US Open last year. As an 18-year-old qualifier, Raducanu became the first qualifier in history to win a Grand Slam title. She defeated Leylah Fernandez in straight sets in the final to claim her maiden major.

Since her historic US Open victory, Raducanu has faced some challenges. She has struggled with injuries and has not been able to maintain the same level of consistency. However, her recent performance at Eastbourne suggests that she is starting to find her form again.

Raducanu will face Jelena Ostapenko in the quarterfinals at Eastbourne. Ostapenko is a former French Open champion and will be a tough test for Raducanu. However, Raducanu has shown that she is capable of beating anyone on her day. With her confidence growing, Raducanu will be looking to continue her impressive run at Eastbourne.
