MMA Raducanu’s attempt at a miraculous recovery against Maya Joint fell just short as she exited the Eastbourne Open.

Battling Raducanu can't put opponent's nose out of Joint

The British number one looked dead and buried in her second-round battle with the Australian, trailing 5-2 in the deciding set.

But she produced an inspired spell, breaking Joint three times when she was serving for the match, to set up a tiebreak.

Victory was in sight when she got a mini-break to lead 4-3 but Joint reeled off four successive points to claim a 4-6 6-1 7-6 (4) victory and move into the quarter-finals.
