Emma Raducanu has reached the semifinals at the D.C. Open by eliminating Maria Sakkari 6-4, 7-5. Friday's win put Raducanu in the final four at the biggest tournament where she’s made it that far since her surprising 2021 U.

Slowly, surely and with a thrilling robustness once lacking in a start-stop-restart career, the all-new Emma Raducanu is on the rise. The Raducanu reset is on the threshold of its most tangible reward after a quarter-final victory in gruelling conditions over powerful Greek Maria Sakkari.

Previously a two-time Washington quarterfinalist, Emma Raducanu is into her first Mubadala Citi DC Open semifinal after a straight-sets win over Maria Sakkari.
