Emma Raducanu was forced to retire from her opening match at the Wuhan Open on another bruisingly hot day. The world No. 30 got off to a good start when she broke her opponent, Ann Li, in the opening game. But Li stormed back to win six in a row, and Raducanu eventually called it quits with the American leading 6-1 4-1.
The Brit looked out of sorts throughout the match and called the doctor during the second set and had her vitals checked, ultimately deciding to retire.
