Emma Raducanu\u2019s fine form continued with another dominant win at the US Open on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The world No 36 needed exactly one hour to dispatch Indonesian qualifier Janice Tjen inside Court Louis Armstrong, ending the 23-year-old\u2019s historic run with a comprehensive 6-2, 6-1 victory.<\/p>\n
Raducanu\u2019s opening-round win over Ena Shibahara lasted 62 minutes and had been her quickest-ever victory at a Grand Slam<\/a>, though that milestone ultimately only lasted two days.<\/p>\n It was a close to perfect performance for the 22-year-old, landing 79% of first serves in play, hitting 16 winners, and breaking her opponent four times.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very pleased with how I played today,\u201d said Raducanu<\/a> on court. \u201cSecond round after two days, it kind of breaks the rhythm a little bit<\/p>\n \u201cI was playing Janice, a super dangerous opponent. She was playing extremely well, and I thought any ball that I put mid-court, that wasn\u2019t necessarily good enough, she just put away easily.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really pleased with how I performed.\u201d<\/p>\n Having not won a match at the US Open since her stunning triumph at this event four years ago, Raducanu is now back into the third round at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n It is the fourth time that the 22-year-old has progressed into the third round of a major, and the six games dropped across her two matches so far is the least amount of games she has ever dropped getting to this stage of a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n Has Coco Gauff already written off this year\u2019s US Open after candid admission?<\/a><\/p>\n Jannik Sinner\u2019s verdict on Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s new haircut as he looks back on their first US Open clash<\/a><\/p>\n Victory was also her 26th win of 2025, the most she has ever recorded in an individual season, with still over two months of tournaments still to come this year.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the consistency of doing good practice days every day, building on that,\u201d responded Raducanu, when asked about the key to her improvement.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter Miami, I did some pretty good work, I started to do it, but I also feel in the last few weeks I\u2019ve really stepped up with what I\u2019m doing on and off the court.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really happy that I have those people [Francisco Roig and Jane O\u2019Donoghue] in my corner over there, and I\u2019m really grateful for them.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to building day by day, doing my best \u2013 that\u2019s all I can do. I\u2019m putting a lot of trust in the work behind the scenes, so it takes a little bit of pressure off.<\/p>\n \u201cBut, at the same time, whenever you play a match on a big stadium, you feel a bit of pressure \u2013 but I like to try and use it as much as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n After her opening two wins, Raducanu is provisionally up three places to world No 33 in the WTA Live Rankings, on 1,546 points.<\/p>\n However, should she triumph in her third-round clash on Friday, the Brit could be in line for a hugely significant surge.<\/p>\n Raducanu would move to 1,656 points with victory in round three, a total that would propel her inside the top 30 of the WTA Rankings for the first time since September 2022.<\/p>\n But things are unlikely to be easy for the Brit, who could face ninth seed Elena Rybakina in round three.<\/p>\n The Kazakh faces qualifier Tereza Valentova on Wednesday, though she dropped just one game when she beat Raducanu in Sydney three years ago.<\/p>\n Read Next<\/strong>: Emma Raducanu and Alex Eala seal rankings breakthroughs as Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic power on \u2013 US Open predictions<\/a><\/p>\n The post Emma Raducanu\u2019s US Open dominance continues as she moves one win from rankings breakthrough<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emma Raducanu\u2019s fine form continued with another dominant win at the US Open on Wednesday.
