Emma Raducanu has revealed that wins now often \u201cmean so much more\u201d than they did during her stunning US Open triumph.<\/p>\n
World No 60 Raducanu<\/a> picked up one of the biggest wins of her career at the Miami Open on Friday, shocking world No 10 Emma Navarro<\/a> 7-6(8), 2-6, 7-6(3) in the second round of action.<\/p>\n It was just the third top-10 win of the 22-year-old\u2019s career, and the first such win on hard courts.<\/p>\n Having beaten Sayaka Ishii in her opening match, it is also the first time that the Brit has picked up back-to-back wins since the Australian Open back in January.<\/p>\n Before the Miami Open, Raducanu held a disappointing 3-6 record for the season and also had to deal with a nightmare stalking ordeal at the Dubai Tennis Championships.<\/p>\n Her disrupted start to 2025 has extended a tumultuous run that began with her memorable US Open victory back in 2021.<\/p>\n Since becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam singles title, Raducanu has climbed as high as 10th in the world, but long-term injury issues in 2023 saw her fall outside the world\u2019s top 250.<\/p>\n She has failed to reach a WTA final since her triumph in September 2021 and, after closing in on a return to the top 50 in 2024, missed a large chunk of the end of the season due to further injury issues.<\/p>\n Speaking following her win against Navarro, Raducanu admitted that wins now were often more meaningful \u2013 having \u201cbeen through so much\u201d since her Grand Slam triumph.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a lot of emotions when I won,\u201d reflected Raducanu.<\/p>\n \u201cI know I won the US Open, but I think having been through so much in the last few years, it\u2019s like the wins now mean so much more.<\/p>\n \u201cNot necessarily more in terms of magnitude, but I would say emotionally, just a lot more aware of all of the suffering as well.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I won the US Open, I just won 10 matches in straight sets. I didn\u2019t have the losses, the downs, the months of losing streaks.<\/p>\n Jack Draper, Carlos Alcaraz & Indian Wells semi-finalists make unwanted history after Miami exits<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018Belongs with the top players\u2019 \u2013 Jessica Pegula weighs in on Emma Raducanu struggles<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI think to come out of it now, I\u2019d say it means a lot more than certain matches at the US Open.\u201d<\/p>\n Raducanu will next face another American in the form of McCartney Kessler as she looks to reach the fourth round of the WTA 1000 event.<\/p>\n It will be her first career meeting against world No 48 Kessler, who is currently ranked 12 places above Raducanu in the WTA Rankings.<\/p>\n The Brit is currently projected to rise to world No 54 in the WTA Rankings after Miami, though victory on Sunday would push her up to world No 52 \u2013 and on the cusp of a return to the top 50.<\/p>\n Read Next<\/strong>:\u00a0Who is Emma Raducanu\u2019s next Miami Open opponent?
