Instead, she was accompanied by her training partner Alexis Canter and the physical trainer Daniel Pohl.\n\nCanter provided support to Raducanu, who managed to stay ahead during the first set, despite showing frustration with her performance and losing her serve twice.\n\nThe concern became evident in the second set, when Raducanu quickly found herself 2-0 down, moving slowly and being outplayed by Zhu.\n\nRaducanu managed to stay in the set, tying 2-2 and then 4-4 after consulting the doctor, where they took her blood pressure, but she made a forehand error on the set point in the tenth game.\n\nAfter a break in the bathroom, the situation did not improve. The problem in Raducanu&#8217;s back, which has affected her throughout the season, resurfaced.\n\nIn the final set, he repeatedly doubled over at the beginning and requested a medical timeout after three games.\n\nRaducanu decided not to retire again, but could barely move, and the match came to an end quickly.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British tennis player Emma Raducanu again faced physical problems, which resulted in her elimination in the first round of the Ningbo Open.
