Indian Wells: Emma Raducanu loses in first WTA match since stalking incident in Dubai
Under the thorny conditions caused by strong winds in the California desert, the entire environment of Ladanu looks uncomfortable.
The 2021 U.S. Open champion made many mistakes to allow Uchijima, a tenacious opponent who quickly adapted to the breeze and stood out at the often clumsy rally.
Due to the pressure of errors caused by lack of accuracy, Lacanu faces a breakthrough point in the opening six service games.
Five of these races ended with a failure from Raducanu as she was trailed by a set of racing and broke through No. 52 Uchijima.
The British cut a soft number after they couldn’t convert any of the three chances to 3-3.
After Uchijima digging deeper, Raducanu didn’t win another point, thus losing the stadium for the sixth time in nine games this year.
