But the pair looked Frosty on the just after the route with the players who only shared a short shake

By the time Swiatek made her way to Match Point, Raducanu looked lost and thorough.

And the experience of the past hours it seemed to tell on the net, where Croft reported for BBC Sport that seemed less than friendly to the farewell gestures between the two players.

“That was a pretty cold handshake,” said the strictly upcoming Dancing star.

“There was no warmth there between the two players. It was quite negative, almost just a handshake and then a walk.

“As soon as Iga Swiatek got a breakthrough in this competition, she just stamped her authority on it.”

Raducanu admitted that the bravery of her opponent had left her miserable ‘exposed’ during their fifth meeting.

It was a very difficult match. Iga played really well. It was tough, “Raducanu said after the draw. ‘I think it was pretty tight at the start of the game.

‘While it went, I think she grew into confidence. I just felt a bit exposed. It was the first time it played a match in that court. It’s different and it’s new to me.

‘It is an environment where she is clearly very comfortable and she has often played in it.

‘I was emphasized in advance, I felt a bit uncomfortable. But it’s a good experience if I ever play in that court again.

Raducanu admitted that her opponent had left her opponent by her opponent on Philippe-Chatrier,

‘You just don’t really feel that there is so much space on the field and at certain moments, you overheat, you just feel constant pressure.

‘I definitely think that I can improve certain parts of my game to perhaps give me the feeling that I have fewer holes.

‘I’m just going to do my best to work on that. It just shows, I think, the distance I have to improve. ‘

With the clay season in her rear view, Raducanu will now switch the focus to a much more well -known surface and her lawn season starts in Queens in the early June.
