Qualifier Emma Raducanu recovered from an early first set loss to upset fifth seeded Naiktha Bains and win the 19th edition of the NECC Deccan ITF $25000 Women's Tennis Tournament here on Sunday.
In a close final, Raducanu from Great Britain upset compatriot Bains 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in one hour 46 minutes.
After a slow start to the match, Raducanu recovered just in time to take the second and third sets, breaking her opponents serve six times in the process, a media release issued here said.
