Emma Raducanu could soon face devastating rankings drop as post-US Open struggles go on | Tennis | Sport

Raducanu recently shut down suggestions that she is struggling with the pressure placed on her shoulders since her US Open win. Responding to a question by a journalist, she said earlier in July: “There’s no pressure. Like, why is there any pressure? I’m still 19. Like, it’s a joke. I literally won a Slam.

“Yes, I have had attention. But I’m a Slam champion, so no one’s going to take that away from me.

“If anything, the pressure is on those who haven’t done that. Going back to New York, it’s going to be cool because I have got a lot of experiences playing on big courts, playing with people in the stadium, playing with the spotlight on you.

“I don’t mind that. I mean, for me, everything is learning. I’m embracing every single moment that is thrown at me.”
