Emma Raducanu blasts Nottingham Open umpire after winning

Emma Raducanu was far from happy with the officiating during her 6-1, 6-4 victory over Ena Shibahara at Nottingham’s Rothesay Open, claiming that she was playing “two versus one” against her opponent and the umpire.

Brazilian official Ana Carvalho called against Raducanu on a number of tight calls, which the Brit felt were “insane” at a tournament where Hawk-Eye is not in use.

The umpire overturned her line judge’s out call for a backhand from Shibahara in the third game, the third such decision that Raducanu felt was unjust.

Raducanu stormed to Carvalho to argue with the umpire over the decision, in which she claimed her opponent “reacted like it was out” but such remonstration proved fruitless.
