After kicking off her Middle East swing at a WTA 500 tournament in Abu Dhabi with a round-of-16 showing, Raducanu also participated in this week’s WTA 1000 event in Doha after being granted a main draw wildcard. After receiving a main draw wildcard into Doha, Raducanu also received a favorable first-round matchup but ended up losing 0-6 6-7 (6) to Anhelina Kalinina.
Following her Doha exit, Raducanu didn’t hide that she was disappointed with her performance.
