    The Bromley local bounced back immediately, breaking in the first game of the second set, but the qualifier broke straight back to level things at 1-1, running the British No 1 around the court and forcing Raducanu to fire errors of her forehand.

    Raducanu managed to pull ahead again, breaking for a 3-2 lead and holding for 4-2, but the world No 106 came back once again to get back to 4-4, but Raducanu stayed with her opponent into the tiebreak where she was flawless, winning it 7-0 to force a third.

    The US Open roared as she got through a tough, lengthy service game to hold for 3-2 in the final set but Wang refused to back down, and was the first to strike as she broke to love at 4-4 to serve for the match, as Raducanu appeared injured, calling the trainer at the change of ends while 4-5 down in the third.

    After a medical time out, the world No 20 managed to force her first crucial break point of the final set, fending off two match points to level things at 5-5, but the pair traded breaks again as Wang took the lead once more to serve out a 6-1 6-7(0) 7-5 victory over the top seed.
