Emma Raducanu has shown a ‘very promising sign’ that may position her as a contender for the US Open title.
Laura Robson is confident that Emma Raducanu will be competitive at the US Open, even though Raducanu has played only three matches since Wimbledon. The 21-year-old chose to skip the Olympics to focus on the hard-court season, where she reached the quarter-finals at the Washington Open. Since then, Raducanu has been inactive, missing out on wildcards for the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open and reportedly declining the opportunity to qualify for the latter in favor of a training period before returning to Flushing Meadows. Despite concerns about her limited match play leading up to the US Open, Robson believes this will actually work to Raducanu’s advantage.
