Emma Raducanu has been blasted by tennis fans after losing to world No 101 Cristina Bucsa at the Singapore Open on Monday. The tennis star was participating in her first tournament since reaching the third round of the Australian Open earlier this month.

Emma Raducanu refused to be too downcast after suffering an opening round exit at the Singapore Open when the British seventh seed lost 5-7 7-5 7-5 to the 101st-ranked Cristina Bucsa. Raducanu progressed to the third round of the recently concluded Australian Open for the first time in her career before losing to five-times Grand Slam champion and Polish second-seed Iga Swiatek in straight sets.

Emma Raducanu has questionably insisted she played better at the Singapore Open than she did during the recent Australian Open, despite crashing out of the tournament in the first round. The 22-year-old went into the clash hoping to secure a first title since her US Open triumph back in 2021.

Raducanu kicked off her thirf tournament. However, it did no last long as she got bounced out of the Singapore Open in the first round. Raducanu, the seventh seed, faced World No. 101 Cristina Bucsa in the first round of the WTA 250 tournament on Monday.
