Emma Raducanu’s Transylvania Open final against Sorana Cirstea was briefly brought to a halt on Saturday afternoon, as the Briton had her vitals checked by a courtside doctor. Trailing 2-1 in the second set, Raducanu<\/a> retired to her bench briefly, where she sat with her head in her hand, wearing a look of exhaustion.<\/p>\n

A doctor then approached the 23-year-old as a cuff was slipped on her arm and her blood pressure was measured. Raducanu was also seen gesturing to her chest as she coughed. Sky Sports<\/a> commentary were then heard saying: “As you can see there, her trainer and could be the doctor as well out for Raducanu, having her blood pressure checked.”<\/p>\n

After seemingly receiving the green light from medical officials, Raducanu then returned to the court, just a matter of moments after having walked off it. It comes as Raducanu recovered from an early injury concern<\/a> in her semi-final clash with Oleksandra Oliynykova on Friday.<\/p>\n

Before stepping up to clinch the first set, the young sensation called upon her trainer before performing a series of movements and stretches with her right shoulder in a medical timeout. Thankfully, any issues weren’t enough to prevent Raducanu from soaring to a convincing 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 win.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the aftermath of the victory, an exhausted Raducanu said: “I mean, what an incredible match. I think all props to my opponent today. She played incredible. She makes it so tricky to put the ball past her.<\/p>\n

“You think it’s past her and the ball is on your baseline or on your sideline, it was so difficult. I’m most proud of how I competed, how I came back in the third set and how I managed the match. I honestly don’t know if I could have done that without everybody’s support today so thank you so much.”<\/p>\n

Saturday’s final ultimately proved too hot to handle for Raducanu, however, as she suffered a 6-0, 6-2 loss at the hands of Cirstea in her first title clash since her US Open miracle of 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Raducanu’s Transylvania Open final against Sorana Cirstea was briefly brought to a halt on Saturday afternoon, as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[6962,153207,52196,101,118,12700,152718,56,54,55,11572],"class_list":["post-413870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-emma-raducanu","tag-health-check","tag-sorana-cirstea","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-section","tag-transylvania-open","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wta-tour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
