Aryna Sabalenka revealed that her three-set thriller battle against Emma Raducanu left her feeling “old” and requiring her coach’s help. 7-6 (6-2), 4-6, 7-6 (7-5) in the Round of 32 at the Cincinnati Open on Monday.
The match, which lasted three hours and nine minutes, had plenty of twists and turns, but it was the Belarusian who came out on top in their narrow third-set tiebreak, which booked Sabalenka a place in the Round of 16 against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. It was the 27-year-old’s second win over Raducanu in as many months, as she previously bested the 22-year-old at Wimbledon in straight sets.
