Emma Raducanu fought back from the brink to seal her first win against a top-10 opponent in eight months by beating Emma Navarro in three sets at the Miami Open.Raducanu, world number 60, was a point away from trailing 4-1 in the final set and overcame fatigue to win a titanic struggle 7-6 (6) 2-6 7-6 (3) against eighth-seeded American Navarro.

In the Miami second round, the Briton upset the eighth-seeded American 7-6 (6) 2-6 7-6 (3). For the 2021 US Open champion, it was only her third win versus a top-10 player and the first one since last summer's grass season.
