Emma Raducanu was reduced to tears mid-match before crashing out of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships with a straight-sets loss to Karolina Muchova.
Raducanu ended the worst run of results in her career to see off Greece's Maria Sakkari in the tournament opener, her first win since the Australian Open and stopping a four-match losing streak, only to struggle during her second-round exit.
The former US Open champion was seen wiping away tears by the umpire's chair early in the opening set, where she later recovered from losing her first four games and survived two set points to force a tie-break against the 14th seed.
