Croatia’s Petra Martic celebrates a third-round victory over US Open champion Emma Raducanu at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells
INDIAN WELLS: US Open champion Emma Raducanu suffered another disappointment Sunday, bowing out in the third round of the Indian Wells WTA and ATP Masters in a 6-7 (3/7), 6-4, 7-5 loss to Petra Martic.
The 19-year-old Briton, who stormed to an unlikely title as a qualifier at Flushing Meadows last year without dropping a set, served for the match at 5-4 in the third.
But the 13th seed couldn’t muster a match point and lost the next three games, a string of forehand errors spelling the end of her challenge in a final loss of serve.
It’s just the latest setback for Raducanu, who was ousted in the second round of the Australian Open in January.
