Emma Raducanu continued her return to form as she reached the semi-finals of the Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington with a straight-sets victory over Maria Sakkari on Friday.
The British No 1 came from a break down in the second set to beat her Greek opponent 6-4 7-5 and set up a meeting with either fourth seed Clara Tauson or Anna Kalinskaya in the final four.
Raducanu had reclaimed her spot as the top-ranked British woman from Katie Boulter on Thursday when she beat two-time US Open champion Naomi Osaka.
The win continues her preparations for next month’s US Open, where she won on debut back in 2021.
