Wang could not believe it when Raducanu won the point
In the first set of the match, Raducanu managed to reach to a ball to get it back to Wang’s side of the court.
The wind took the ball and somehow managed to take it back to Raducanu’s side and her Chinese opponent could not reach the ball.
Wang stood there stunned at what had happened.
The Chinese tennis star took the first set 6-4 and was a break up in early in the second.
However, Raducanu battled back to take it 6-4 and take it to a decider.
Wang fought back and took the final set 6-4 with the Brit struggling with illness.
It is just her second tournament since returning from having surgery on both wrists and her ankle.
She lost in the second round of her match in Auckland to Elina Svitolina, but started to look back to her best in the first round of the Australian Open.
She beat Shelby Rogers in straight sets to advance to the second round.
