Emma Raducanu has learned her fate in the Wuhan Open draw, and she’s landed in the same section as Jessica Pegula. Raducanu blew three match points against the world No. 7 at the China Open in Beijing earlier this week, and she could well have a shot at revenge in the third round of next week’s WTA 1000 in Wuhan.
First, Raducanu will have to overcome another familiar opponent in Ann Li, the American world No. 47, whom she beat earlier this year in Eastbourne.
The British No. 1 is set to make her tournament debut in Wuhan next week. Unlike the WTA 1000 in Beijing, the Wuhan event has a much smaller draw, meaning that Raducanu is not seeded.
The former US Open champion has been drawn to face Li in the first round. If she advances to round two, Raducanu will face a tough test against either No. 9 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova or Canadian Open champion Victoria Mboko.
And the third round could well be a rematch with Pegula, who is seeded sixth in Wuhan.
