Raducanu bows out of the Cincinnati

Earlier in the year, Raducanu struggled with form as she ran inconsistently in tournaments. However, she delivered one of her best performances in recent times, winning over her 23-time Grand Slam champion opponent, Serena Williams.

It’s been a year since she started training and, as a rookie at the top of her sport, each new week of competition brings a fresh memory of Emma Raducanu. Just two weeks before that, she competed in her first professional doubles match. She hadn’t faced multiple Grand Slam champions until this week when she defeated two in a row.

However, since winning her biggest title, she has failed to perform consistently on the WTA Tour. Importantly, she exited the tournament early this year. The British star also bowed out from the Cincinnati where she was competing in the Western and Southern Opens.

At the Western and Southern Open, Raducanu made a memorable victory by defeating two former world No. 1s Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka. Raducanu suffered a heartbreaking loss in the quarterfinals. She lost in straight sets to her American opponent, Jessica Pegula, and was handed a defeat of 7-5, 6-4.
