A power outage, a mid-match fire alarm, and another day of suffocating heat at the Cincinnati Open… but nothing could overshadow the brilliant battle between defending champion Aryna Sabalenka and Emma Raducanu. The two competitors played for over three hours, including a game in the third set that lasted 23 minutes. In the end, the top-seeded Sabalenka emerged with a 7-6, 4-6, 7-6 victory. But both players– and the fans– could hold their heads high after putting on quite a show.
