The World No. 29 won the opening set, before falling to home favorite Lin Zhu 3-6 6-4 6-1 in the Round of 32. Having already retired at last week&rsquo;s Wuhan Open, the British starlet suffered more physical setbacks at Ningbo.<\/p><p>It was a disappointing outing for Raducanu, who started the match very well. The 22-year-old has had a longstanding battle with injuries, and Tuesday was no different. She entered the tournament with a win-loss record of 28-21, and one semifinal + two quarterfinal appearances to her name. Yet, Raducanu will have to return empty-handed yet again, as Zhu produced a fine display to outlast the Briton.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Defeat for Emma Raducanu in Ningbo as Lin Zhu fights back 3-6, 6-4, 6-1<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BackTheBrits?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#BackTheBrits<\/a> &#127468;&#127463; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Kfr0XmgHOo\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/Kfr0XmgHOo<\/a><\/p>&mdash; LTA (@the_LTA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/the_LTA\/status\/1978072672568213653?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 14, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lin Zhu Outlasts Emma Raducanu in Ningbo<\/h2><p>Raducanu walked onto court in the absence of her head coach Francisco Roig &ndash; who is guiding her until the end of the 2025 season. The opening set was full of shifts in momentum and constant breaks of serve. However, Raducanu kept her cool when it mattered most and consolidated her 3-0 lead. As the match went on, Zhu opted to extend the rallies with defensive slices and neutral balls.<\/p><p>Noticing that her opponent was struggling, the Chinese sensation fed off the energy from her home crowd and took control of the encounter. She began attacking the Briton&rsquo;s serve more often, and eventually forced a decider with some clean winners. In the third set, Raducanu made too many errors in the attempt to go for the kill.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Day 2 in Ningbo featuring Muchova, Samsonova, Yuan and more | WTA Match Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EK23ThCWq60?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Lin Zhu completed an exhausting three-set victory in 2 hours and 26 minutes.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
