U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu had to work hard for her first win on the WTA Tour as she recovered from a set down to beat world No. 124 Polona Hercog 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 in the Transylvania Open in Romania on Tuesday.
Emma Raducanu said her comeback win over Polona Hercog at the Transylvania Open will be important for her confidence. Raducanu became the first player to ever win a Grand Slam as a qualifier when she triumphed at the US Open last month, although things haven’t been smooth since.
