"Kaja was playing some great tennis, was putting me on the back foot straight away. I thought I was being aggressive going for my shots but I was missing and not executing. At least I could say that I was trying to play on my terms so that was the goal for me. I don't think I've ever come back from 5-0 down before so that's a first to add to the experience."
"Thank you for the support, it really got me through some tricky moments in that first set,"
Emma Raducanu recovered from a 5-0 first-set deficit to defeat Kaja Juvan 7-5, 6-1 in the Transylvania Open last 16. The match marked Raducanu's second outing since splitting with coach Francis Roig. Raducanu won 11 consecutive games during the turnaround, breaking Juvan to level at 5-5 and taking the set at 7-5 before controlling the second set. She saved a break point early in set two and broken to love to seize momentum. Raducanu will play Maja Chwalinska in the quarter-finals.
