When does Emma Raducanu final start, how can I watch on TV, who is she playing against?
- Raducanu has the opportunity to win the Transylvania Open, her first WTA final since her historic 2021 US Open victory, after beating Oleksandra Oliynykova in the semi-finals as she looks to get her career back on track.
She defeated the world No. 91 in a gruelling three-set match (7-5, 3-6, 6-3) that lasted nearly three hours in Romania.
Raducanu overcame "infuriating" and "frustrating" tactics from her opponent—including heavy use of moon balls and slices—describing herself as "physically shattered" after the attritional battle. The British star required a medical timeout after winning the first set, but battled back to win.
Romania's Sorana Cirstea is her opponent in Saturday's final after she defeated Daria Snigur in straight sets. She is the No.3 seed in the tournament.
The final will be available to watch on Sky Sports Tennis on Saturday, with the action getting underway at 2:30pm UK time (4:30pm local time).
- It has been a frustrating last season for Raducanu, with her Australian Open ending in the second round with defeat to Anastasia Potapova. She later announced a split from coach Francisco Roig, with the duo only having started working together last August.
