Emma Raducanu shocked the tennis world when she won the 2021 US Open, and the Brit is\u00a0capable of winning another Grand Slam title, according to\u00a0former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki.<\/p>\n
As an 18-year-old qualifier ranked 150th,\u00a0Raducanu<\/a>\u00a0stormed to the US Open title without dropping a set in one of the most remarkable major runs in tennis history. Raducanu is the only player to win a Grand Slam title as a qualifier.<\/p>\n Since her stunning breakthrough in New York \u2014 which remains her only WTA title \u2014 Raducanu has endured a challenging time on tour, with injuries frequently hampering her progress.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old hired renowned physical trainer\u00a0Yutaka Nakamura, who previously worked with\u00a0Maria Sharapova and Naomi Osaka, at the end of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n After a difficult start to 2025, Raducanu kickstarted her campaign at the Miami Open, where she started working with coach Mark Petchey. She reached the quarter-finals in Miami \u2014 her best WTA 1000 result and most impressive performance since her US Open triumph.<\/p>\n The Brit has since built on her Miami run with some encouraging results on clay, including a last 16 showing at the Italian Open, and she holds a 9-4 record since linking up with Petchey.<\/p>\n Raducanu is currently the world No 43, which is her highest ranking position since August 2022 \u2014 just before she dropped the points from her US Open title.<\/p>\n Ahead of the 2025 French Open, Tennis365 asked\u00a0Wozniacki about Raducanu\u2019s prospects at Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year \u2014 and the ceiling she could reach.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, it\u2019s hard to say. Can she stay healthy \u2013 is I think the main thing,\u201d the 2018 Australian Open winner said at a\u00a0TNT Sports event.<\/p>\n \u201cI think she\u2019s really going in the right direction, I think she\u2019s moving her way up, I think\u2026 it\u2019s not easy, who\u2019s she gonna play? What\u2019s the draw gonna be like?<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s proven she can beat great players, but it\u2019s not easy if you get a really tough draw and have to beat seeded after seeded player to reach far. Obviously when you\u2019re a higher seed, usually you get somewhat softer draws to start with and it kind of gets easier.<\/p>\n Emma Raducanu told to hold \u2018moderate\u2019 French Open expectations by former world No 2<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Emma Raducanu makes worrying injury confession ahead of Roland Garros<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cYou know, you have to give her time. She\u2019s young, she doesn\u2019t have as much experience as many of the others do, but I think with [Mark] Petchey there in her corner\u2026 I think he\u2019s great, he knows the game so well, he has all the ins and outs of all the stats, et cetera, and I think that\u2019s gonna help her a lot.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd you know, it\u2019s not easy being British and playing Wimbledon. I love Wimbledon, I\u2019m sure she loves Wimbledon and can\u2019t wait to play, but at the same time, there\u2019s a lot of pressure and I hope that she\u2019s able to enjoy that and enjoy the crowd and having that be behind her.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd what her ceiling is, I think time will tell, but she\u2019s proven that she can win the US Open, and if you can do it once, you can do it again. It\u2019s just a matter of putting it together for seven straight matches.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess we\u2019ll just have to wait and see if that\u2019s gonna happen and when that\u2019s gonna happen. But either way, being as young as she is and already having a Grand Slam under her belt is a great feat.\u201d<\/p>\n Raducanu will face world No 42 Wang Xinyu in her opening match at the French Open and could face reigning champion and five-time major winner Iga Swiatek in the second round.<\/p>\n Watch every moment of the French Open live and exclusive on discovery+<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n READ NEXT:\u00a0Emma Raducanu\u2019s \u2018priorities in right place\u2019 as former world No 1 reveals what she needs to add to her game<\/a> The post Emma Raducanu given verdict on her \u2018ceiling\u2019 by former world No 1\u00a0ahead of French Open<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emma Raducanu shocked the tennis world when she won the 2021 US Open, and the Brit is\u00a0capable of winning another Grand Slam title, according to\u00a0former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki.
