Her journey in this year’s US Open

Raducanu’s loss is not surprising, as she has been plagued by injuries that caused an early exit from Wimbledon and most of the summer hard-court season. The British star has had numerous changes in her coaching staff as well, which could be a valid reason for her inconsistent results.
The result of this match will indeed impact Raducanu’s ranking as well. What that means is that she will fall in the rankings after losing merit points gained for winning last year’s title.
