“He is a child,” replied the referee of the chair. “Do you want me to send the child out of the stadium?”

After the game, Raducanu said he was “proud” to push Sabalenka to the point of a tie -breaker to determine who won the third round game.
“She is the world No. 1 for a reason,” he said, through TNT Sports. “I pushed her more than in Wimbledon, so that is an improvement. In addition, it was good to have this result on a hard court because it is very different from the grass, and I have always thought that the grass is much more left, and I still believe it.
“Then, to have pushed her to a hard court like that, I am quite proud.”
