Britain's Emma Raducanu falls to world number one and defending champion Iga Swiatek in the quarter-finals of the Stuttgart Open.
A resurgent Emma Raducanu played some of her best tennis in recent memory but fell short in a compelling quarter-final battle against world No 1 Iga Swiatek at the Stuttgart Open.
Emma Raducanu's winning run came to an end in a 7-6 (2), 6-3 loss to top-ranked Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals of the Porsche Grand Prix on Friday.
