British tennis star Emma Raducanu has had a troublesome year so far. After winning her only Grand Slam title last year at the US Open, she could not replicate her performance this time. Earlier this year, she suffered a shocking first-round defeat in the US Open 2022.

The defending champion crashed out of the tournament after a straight-set defeat against Alize Cornet. Later she appeared in the Slovakia Open, where she won only one match. Further, in her Korea Open campaign, the Briton did well to reach the semifinals. In her most recent match, she lost to Daria Kasatkina in the Ostrava Open.
