Emma Raducanu vs Jessica Pegula LIVE: Miami Open latest score and updates

Welcome to live coverage of Emma Raducanu’s Miami Open quarter-final against fourth seed Jessica Pegula.

Emma Raducanu vs Jessica Pegula is the fourth match scheduled on Stadium, the main court in Miami, and the final quarter-final in the women’s draw.

Play is not slated to start until after 7pm local time (11pm UK time).

That could be pushed later, however, if the earlier matches on Stadium go the distance.

Raducanu has enjoyed a brilliant run in Miami – in fact, her best since her run to the US Open title as a qualifier in 2021.

Here’s how she’s fared so far:

Round 1: 6-2, 6-1 win over Sayaka Ishii (wildcard)

Round 2: 7-6(6), 2-6, 7-6(3) over Emma Navarro (8th seed)

Round 3: 6-1, 3-0 win over McCartney Kessler (retired)

Last-16: 6-1, 6-3 win over Amanda Anisimova (17th seed)

Raducanu’s run in Miami has been all the more impressive given what immediately preceded it: a well-documented ordeal with a stalker, who followed her across multiple tournaments in Asia before being given a restraining order.

She then lost her first match after that ordeal came to light, in Indian Wells, the last tournament she played before coming to Florida.

WTA – Alexandra Eala 6-2, 7-5 Iga Swiatek (POL)

ATP – [1] Alexander Zverev (GER) 6-3, 3-6, 4-6 [17] Arthur Fils (FRA)

ATP – [23] Francisco Cerundolo (ARG) vs [14] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL)

WTA – Emma Raducanu (GBR) vs [4] Jessica Pegula (USA)

ATP – [24] Sebastian Korda (USA) vs [4] Novak Djokovic (SRB)

There has been further disruption in the Raducanu camp after she ended a trial with Slovakian coach Vladimir Platenik after two weeks. The Brit had worked with Nick Cavaday until he stepped down after the Australian Open for health reasons, and is yet to appoint a permanent replacement.

But no coach, no problem, it seems.

Since ended her coaching trial with Vladimir Platenik on the eve of the Miami tournament Raducanu has been working with former mentors Mark Petchey and Jane O’Donoghue during the fortnight.

And Raducanu said the change of approach and working with people who she “trusts” has helped her “have fun” off the court and contributed to her performances in matches.

The pair have only played each other twice, splitting the spoils evenly, but Pegula – last year’s US Open finalist and the fourth seed – is a hugely tricky opponent, whose consistency at the business end of tournaments has seen her rise to fourth in the world.

We’re expecting Raducanu and Pegula to not be on court until at least 11.30pm UK time, with the final men’s match on Stadium before them – Francisco Cerundolo vs Grigor Dimitrov – having only just entered a second set.

Cerundolo won the first 7-6(8-6) after a topsy-turvy, tricky opener for both players, with both struggling with unforced errors. Dimitrov had seven set points but couldn’t close any of them out.
