But Sabalenka, the world n. 1, she got used long to face that huge target on the back, which thus often pushes its opponents to perform a lot above their usual level.

Faced with a champion of the Grand Slam that played some of his best tennis, Sabalenka raised his game at even higher heights in the decisive moments, crushing the hopes of Raducanu of a declaration victory by closing an intense and unforgettable win with a 7-6 (6) win, 6-4 to reach the fourth round.

After approaching so much to really upset such a special opponent, Raducanu’s first thoughts will be of his painful disappointment after he was unable to run the many possibilities he has gained brilliantly.

Raducanu served for the first set at 6-5, then he held a 6-5 set set in the Tiebreak. In the second set, Raducanu therefore held a breakage point for an advantage of a second set 5-1. But every time he has established an advantage, Sabalenka was pulling her back.

However, his career against the elite was largely a series of disappointing performances without trust and quality.

Here Raducanu raised himself spectacularly for the solicitation of his crowd of home, demonstrating the complete skills of his all -round game, his improvement and his right and his heart while pushing Sabalenka for two hours.

While Raducanu came out at the center court much later than expected Friday evening, his eyes scrutinized all the corners of the stadium, he settled for one of the most significant occasions of his career.

With the exception of his triumph US Open almost four years ago, Raducanu has not yet contested many games with the emotional meaning of facing the world n. 1 to Wimbledon on the land of home.

Throughout the year, Raducanu behaved well against the lower level players, reconstructing his ranking by defeating the opponents to which he is clearly superior.

The best players in the world, however, usually put Raducanu’s weaknesses, in particular, exposing his lack of fire power.

From the beginning, Raducanu clarified that he was ready, imposing maximum pressure on Sabalenka with his aggression of exultation, the offensive return and his excellent service.

With the crowd that breaks out after every winning point by Raducanu, the constant pressure he has imposed has finally produced the opening break.

Even when Sabalenka predictably found his way, pulling back the set to 5-4, Raducanu raised his game at greater heights.

With the set apparently slipped away, Raducanu made an incredible last position on his 4-5 service.

Despite the way Sabalenka had taken control of the basic line, he found a distant return. Almost every time he stared at a set point, Raducanu responded with a first or second quality service.

After dealing with seven set points, Raducanu obtained an incredible service service at 5-5 level. With the momentum that leads it forward and the central court in a state of ferment, Raducanu has torn a break to drive 6-5 on the set.

Once again, Sabalenka went up to the occasion, immediately recovering the break to force a first set draw.

At the end of the draw, with everything on the line, it seemed that Raducanu’s efforts could finally be rewarded while Sabalenka failed an easy driving flight and Raducanu arrived at 6-5.

Instead, Sabalenka has shown his greatness and his evolution game. After saving Raducanu’s only set point with a delicate and perfect shot for inches, he went on to the net and closed an unforgettable first 75-minute set with a Drop-Volley winner.

At the end of such an intense, but useless of tennis, it would have been reasonable for the intensity of Raducanu, considering his non -familiarity with competition at this level. Instead, he was there for each point since the beginning of set two, serving well and intelligently judging his moments to unleash it.

It was Raducanu a route first for an advantage of 3-1 before generating a pause point for an advantage of 5-1.

Once again, it was addressed by the world n. 1, whose candidacy for a first title of Wimbledon was strengthened only by the mental fortress that showed in front of a hostile crowd.

Even in defeat, this can still represent a significant moment for Raducanu. Over the past four years, he has fought badly with the pressure that has followed such shocking ascent, the incessant and bad faithful were painful to navigate and, sometimes, his decision -making process only aggravated his problems.

This performance is a reflection of his positive work in recent months and undeniable improvements to his game.

Raducanu has finally shown that he is able to combine the best players in the world. The next step is to beat them. [theguardian.com]”
