A tense tiebreak swings the way of Aryna Sabalenka.
The favourite found the net to give Raducanu hope at 4-4, but then snuck a forehand over to regain the lead.
The Belarusian made a huge mistake with a net approach, firing wide. She hit into the net on the next rally to give Raducanu set point.
What guts from Sabalenka to wheel out a testing drop shot at that vital point – but it came off.
Raducanu goes long to give Sabalenka set point at 7-6 in the tiebreak, and she takes it with a deft shot at the net.
But, my word, how she had to work for that.
A marathon 1hr 14min set comes to an end.
