Australian world No 51 wins 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4)
Jodie Burrage fails to convert match points
Emma Raducanu’s attempt at a miraculous recovery against Maya Joint fell just short as she lost in the second round at Eastbourne.
The British No 1 looked dead and buried in her battle with the Australian, trailing 5-2 in the deciding set. But she produced an inspired spell, breaking Joint three times when she was serving for the match, to set up a tie-break.
Victory was in sight when she got a mini-break to lead 4-3 but the 19-year-old reeled off four successive points to claim a 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) victory and move into the quarter-finals.
