Emma Raducanu said that she "died about three times" as she survived the longest two-set match of the year.Raducanu needed two hours and 50 minutes to fend off Camila Osorio, 7-6(5), 7-6(4), at the Citi Open. The Brit thus advanced to just her second quarterfinal of the season and third since winning the US Open last year.Raducanu endured hand and foot blisters, 90-degree humidity, and repeated comebacks by Osorio in the near three-hour encounter – the longest straight-sets WTA main draw match of 2022 so far.wta@WTA"I think I died about three times in that match" @EmmaRaducanu | #CitiOpen46257"I think I died about three times in that match" 😅@EmmaRaducanu | #CitiOpen https://t.co/gRwOW80fVb"I think I died about three times in that match, and I came back, honestly, I don't know how," said Emma Raducanu during her on-court post-match interview.Raducanu said that the No. 67 Osorio, who had carved out numerous comeback wins in her rise from the top 200 last year, was a fighter and that she was pleased that she pulled through."Camila (Osorio) is such a battler. Every single point, I was working so, so hard. Sometimes it wasn't necessarily the strongest shots but you just got to generate and generate over and over again. She is such a fighter. Even when I was up in the second set, like, 4-2, 40-0, three break points, she came back fighting. Obviously, when she comes back, the dynamic of the match changes a bit so I'm really pleased I got through that one," said Emma Raducanu.Citi Open@CitiOpenWhat a match!

Take a bow, ladies... 🤗@CamiOsorioTenis x @EmmaRaducanu #CitiOpen https://t.co/pDJkxLnPSNDuring the on-court interview, Raducanu also showcased the blisters she suffered on her hand, for which she had a medical timeout. Blisters have hampered Raducanu in some of her matches this season, including her second-round loss at the Australian Open."It's on my feet as well. It actually came out of nowhere. At the beginning of the match, I was all right, just normal callouses. And then throughout the match, my skin was just ripping off. In the beginning, there was like a flap, but then the flap got ripped off so it was just pretty open," said Raducanu.Emma Raducanu reaches second quarterfinal of the season vs Liudmila SamsonovaEmma Raducanu books a quarterfinal place against Liudmila Samsonova at the Citi OpenEmma Raducanu, troubled by injuries and retirements, secured just her second foray into the last eight of a tournament this season.She arranged a first ever meeting with 23-year-old Liudmila Samsonova, who, for her part, advanced via a three-set win over Ajla Tomljanovic, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, in two hours and 14 minutes. Raducanu is weary of Samsonova's ability but said she was focusing on her recovery for the quarterfinals on Friday."She is a big ball striker and she has the ability to take the game out of your hands," said Raducanu of the No. 60 Samsonova in the same on-court post-match interview."So, for me, it's just about recovering as best as I can tomorrow. She also had a three set match today, so I think both of us are going to be feeling it. It's going to be a matter of who is going to stay tough. We'll see how the dynamic goes tomorrow," said Raducanu.
