Pegula, the No.4 seed, ended Raducanu's run in the competition with a 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-2 win.

There were brief medical concerns for Raducanu late in the second set as she suffered from a bout of dizziness.

But she continued after some medical treatment, which included having her blood taken, and played the third set.

Recalling her dizziness, the 22-year-old said: “I just felt really dizzy. I felt faint.

“I don’t know, it was very humid out there and we have a long wait.

“So maybe just an accumulation, and just physical points as well and there were long rallies and heavy conditions.

“But....yeah, I don't know how I kind of regrouped in that second set, but in the third I definitely struggled a little bit.”;

Raducanu had shown glimpses of the player who the US Open in 2021 in her run to the quarter-finals in Miami.

That was despite her recently axing her now former coach Vladimir Platenik, who she parted company with last week.

Platenik, who was given the boot after just TWO WEEKS, told the BBC: “I totally understand Emma, she's not in an easy position.

“The world is looking at her after the US Open [which she won in 2021] and everybody is expecting – including herself – what she is going to do next.

“So for me it's absolutely understandable that she's under a lot of pressure. She told me she was feeling stressed.

“There are no hard feelings from my side. She finished the relationship in a fair way, maybe too quickly, but this is tennis, this is sport. We need to respect that.

“She was not feeling okay, and that was her decision. I didn't want to go into deeper communication about that.

“I think the player needs to feel good, and the player needs to make a decision.

“Sometimes you make a good decision, and sometimes bad.”
