The British teenager broke multiple records with his victory at Flushing Meadows, including becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam title. She quickly became the talk of the town and was even identified as tennis’ next golden girl after her spectacular campaign.
His first year on the senior track was really productive for Raducanu, finishing the year in 19th place in the world, up 324 places from the previous year. But it’s been on a downward spiral for the 19-year-old since then.

“Jim Courier always said, ‘I enjoy learning from losing, you can really learn a lot, but I enjoy learning from winning’ so maybe he can learn while winning. This is the best formula. Five of the last nine Grand Slams have been won by first-time players, so the odds are there and there are plenty of players to choose from in the majors.

“Is it going to be a tough road? Yes, because there are a lot of veteran players who all want to get a piece of the action, so there will be competition. But she’s done it before and I think she’s getting a taste of what she can do and since the game isn’t dominated like a Serena Williams, including Emma I think many women have opportunities to win second place. added.
