<\/p>\nEmma Raducanu was bundled out of the Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington in the semi-finals after losing 6-4 6-3 to Anna Kalinskaya.<\/p>\n
The British No 1 matched the Russian early, using her superior serve to pick up five aces.<\/p>\n
However, she was frequently unable to take full advantage of her firepower as she failed to convert any of her four break-point opportunities.<\/p>\n
This left enough of a window for Kalinskaya to capitalise, clinching the first set before cruising through the second and wrapping up the victory in one hour and 34 minutes.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Continuing her return to form in her next match Raducanu had come from a break down in the second set to beat Maria Sakkari 6-4 7-5 that put her into the semi-final with Kalinskaya.<\/p>\n

Kalinskaya will now play Leylah Fernandez in Sunday’s final after the the Canadian edged out third seed Elena Rybakina in a marathon encounter that required three tie-breaks for a resolution.<\/p>\n
Fernandez prevailed 6-7 7-6 7-6 after three hours and 12 minutes on court.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a scrappy performance from Australia’s Alex de Minaur was enough to book him a spot in the men’s final with a 6-4 6-3 victory over French lucky loser Corentin Moutet.<\/p>\n
The world No 10 overcame 33 unforced errors to wrap up the win in one hour and 44 minutes.<\/p>\n
He will face Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the final, after the 12th seed upset American fourth seed Ben Shelton 6-2 7-5.<\/p>\n
