Emma Raducanu<\/a> burst back into form in impressive fashion as she reached the quarter-finals of the Miami Open and that run has given her a double rankings boost.<\/p>\n

The 2021 US Open champion has struggled to find her form in the opening weeks of 2025, but she looked back to her brilliant best as she beat four opponents in Miami.<\/p>\n

A three-set defeat against eventual runner-up Jessica Pegula was also encouraging, as she matched the world No 4 in a close match that could have gone either way.<\/p>\n

Her run in Miami also included a win against top 10 rival Emma Navarro and recent WTA 1000 champion Amanda Anisimova, with those results boosting her WTA Ranking up to No 48 in the updated list.<\/p>\n

Raducanu\u2019s rankings boost in the UTR Rankings is even more impressive, as she is up to No 29 in a list that may be more reflective of her true position in the women\u2019s game after her displays in Miami.<\/p>\n

Victories against higher-ranked players are worth more in the UTR list than the official ATP or WTA Ranking, meaning they offer a more accurate reflection of the current form at the top of the game.<\/p>\n

The UTR Rankings are based on the current form from the last few weeks and months rather than reflecting results that occurred up to a year ago, with the system created to promote fair and competitive play across the tennis world.<\/p>\n

All players, regardless of age, gender, geography, or skill level, are rated on the same scale between 1.00 and 16.50 based on actual match results.<\/p>\n

The UTR Ranking is open to players of all levels of the game and the algorithm used provides an intriguing insight at the top of the game.<\/p>\n

This more immediate ranking is also highlighted in the men\u2019s list, with Britain\u2019s Jack Draper moving up to a career-high of No 4 in the updated UTR rankings after he won his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells last month.<\/p>\n

The double boost of British tennis will fuel optimism that Raducanu and Draper can challenge when they get on the grass courts at Wimbledon this in July and former British No 1 Tim Henman is backing the duo to perform in front of their home fans.<\/p>\n

Emma Raducanu makes huge rankings leap in alternative tennis list<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cShe played some brilliant tennis in this tournament,\u201d said Henman of her Miami Open displays. \u201cShe has been looking to build that momentum on the match court and it\u2019s great that she has competed a lot more this year after Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results haven\u2019t been there, but when you are putting in that hard work [on court] and in the gym with her physical trainer, I thought her movement both offensively and defensively looked fantastic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe turning point was the Emma Navarro match, which she won 7-6 in the third. To beat a top 10 player in that fashion would have given her a lot of confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe four wins she had will give her a lot of belief moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same goes for Jack. He showed what he could do in Indian Wells and beat some top players there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what is taking place now is the pieces of his puzzle coming together and those pieces have always been there, but if anything, it\u2019s just perhaps been a few of the little injuries that have kept him from building that momentum in tournament play.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I think is exciting \u2013 he\u2019s seven in the world, he\u2019s just won his first Masters 1000 and to me, he still hasn\u2019t really played a consistent 12-18 months on Tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when you take a deeper dive into his game, there are very few weaknesses and still areas to improve on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe quality of his serving has been huge, hitting his spots very well, the power on the forehand was brilliant to watch in Indian Wells.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like him to finish more points at the net. When you\u2019re that aggressive you can bring that extra string to your bow, but for a big guy, he\u2019s a great athlete who moves well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s what I find exciting for the next decade, hopefully.\u201d<\/p>\n
