  • Emma Raducanu fell short in her bid to win her first title since her shock victory at the US Open in 2021.
  • Raducanu faced home favourite Sorana Cirstea in the Transylvania Open final on Saturday.
  • The Brit enjoyed an impressive run to the final but could only pick up two games against Cirstea as the Romanian claimed a 6-0, 6-2 win.
  • It was a disappointing end to the week for Raducanu, who was the top seed.
  • She is looking to find consistent form after recently splitting with her coach, Francisco Roig.
