Emma Raducanu will be hoping to turn her luck around at next week's Wuhan Open, after blowing multiple match points in her last two losses. The British No. 1 had three match points against Jessica Pegula in Beijing earlier this week, but she couldn't take them and suffered a bruising 3-6 7-6(9) 6-0 defeat.

Raducanu also collapsed after squandering three match points against Barbora Krejcikova at the Korea Open just a few days earlier. Coming into the WTA 1000 in Wuhan, the world No. 32 confessed that it had been hard to get her head around the crushing defeats.

Ahead of her tournament debut at the Wuhan Open, Raducanu said: "Yeah, I think it was hard for me.

"The last two matches that I lost, I had match points in both. And it's not something that's really happened to me before and then to happen twice in a week was pretty new to get my head around."

Raducanu faded away when she failed to take her match-point chances in the second set tiebreak against Pegula in Beijing. She won only 12 points in the quick final set, but still felt more optimistic than she did in Seoul a few days earlier.

"I think the second match I found it easier to get over than the first because I know I was playing some better tennis and just improving with my level," the 22-year-old explained.
