"Needs to find a new career, it’s pathetic" - Tennis fans blast Emma Raducanu after latest retirement
WTA
Emma Raducanu retired from her Korea Open semi-final match against Osptanko later today and tennis fans were very disappointed.
Raducanu was playing her best event all year long as it was the first one where she won at least 3 matches in a row. It was also her chance to go to a final and after the first set, she was fairly close to it. Up a break in the second set and with a set in hand, Raducanu was seen struggling not long after breaking her opponent.
Her movement became sluggish, her mood shifted and her play fell apart. She lost all momentum she had and dropped the second set and began the final one with an 0-3 deficit. At that moment, Raducanu opted to retire from the match.
It wasn't a sight that fans wanted to see as it was her mid-match retirement this year and of course, no player has more. We bring you some of the fan reactions below:

"Emma Raducanu needs to find a new career. It’s fucking pathetic how she is even ranked. She’s withdrawn from more matches than won over the past year and a half."
"She was winning when she got injured, you could see exactly when it happened, she tried to play on but couldn't run."
"No one retires when feeling loss like princess Emma"
"This is becoming a theme. She should just retire and go to university. It seems that’s what she really wants to do anyway. Keeping entering tournaments and dropping out when you’re losing is terrible for fans."
"Just Retire and do something else. This Tennis things not for You. One Hit Wonder."

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
