Key Match Moments
Raducanu faced off against Croatia’s Vekic in the championship match. A primary concern heading into the final was Raducanu’s physical condition following a demanding semi-final session. Despite a taped left thigh, the British player struggled from the outset, losing the first set 6-0 within thirty minutes as Vekic displayed aggressive play.
During the second set, a visibly flustered Raducanu requested medical attention, and her thigh tape was removed. With the crowd’s support, many observers questioned whether Vekic could maintain her commanding lead. However, Vekic ultimately secured the victory, preventing Raducanu from claiming the championship title and extending her own title drought.
