Emma Raducanu’s Slump Raises US Open Concerns
Emma Raducanu’s current form has alarmed fans and analysts ahead of the US Open. The 2021 champion is struggling to replicate her breakthrough success, with poor performances casting doubt on her chances at this year’s tournament.
Ranked 38th in the WTA standings, Raducanu is just outside the US Open seeding range. Without a seeding, she risks facing top players early, potentially shortening her run and complicating her quest for a deep finish.
Her recent early exit against Amanda Anisimova hurt her ranking momentum. However, with no points to defend, strong showings in warm-up events like Cleveland or Monterrey could still help her secure a seeding.
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova emphasized stability, urging Raducanu to commit long-term to a coach. She praised Emma’s talent but stressed the importance of patience, discipline, and consistent guidance to unlock her full potential.
