"Do you want me to send the child out of the stadium?," the umpire replied, to which Raducanu raised her tennis racket and smiled

Emma Raducanu urged a Cincinnati Open umpire to remove a crying child during her thrilling match against Aryna Sabalenka on Monday, briefly pausing the action over the matter.

Despite the interruption, Raducanu battled 27-year-old Belarusian Sabalenka point for point, taking the match to a third-set tiebreak. In the end, she fell just short, but the crowd gave her a standing ovation, applauding her grit and composure.
