Third loss in a row for British No 2 after 6-3, 6-4 defeat Raducanu still seeking a new coach after Cavaday’s exit
Emma Raducanu suffered a third straight defeat in the opening round of the Abu Dhabi Open. The 22-year-old was beaten 6-3, 6-4 by the former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova to add to her losses to Iga Swiatek in the third round of the Australian Open and to Cristina Bucsa in Singapore last week.
Originally given a wild card into qualifying, the British No 2 was bumped up to the main draw and handed a tricky opener against Czech Vondrousova, who has struggled with injury since last summer.
