When does Emma Raducanu final start, how can I watch on TV, who is she playing against?
- Raducanu has the opportunity to win the Transylvania Open, her first WTA final since her historic 2021 US Open victory, after beating Oleksandra Oliynykova in the semi-finals as she looks to get her career back on track.
-
She defeated the world No. 91 in a gruelling three-set match (7-5, 3-6, 6-3) that lasted nearly three hours in Romania.
-
Raducanu overcame “infuriating” and “frustrating” tactics from her opponent—including heavy use of moon balls and slices—describing herself as “physically shattered” after the attritional battle. The British star required a medical timeout after winning the first set, but battled back to win.
-
Romania’s Sorana Cirstea is her opponent in Saturday’s final after she defeated Daria Snigur in straight sets. She is the No.3 seed in the tournament.
-
The final will be available to watch on Sky Sports Tennis on Saturday, with the action getting underway at 2:30pm UK time (4:30pm local time).
- It has been a frustrating last season for Raducanu, with her Australian Open ending in the second round with defeat to Anastasia Potapova. She later announced a split from coach Francisco Roig, with the duo only having started working together last August.
