British sensation Emma Raducanu is in the Semi-Final of the US Open and how… the 18 year old has cruised through in straight sets…. next big thing in Women’s Tennis we think so.
She has won three singles titles on the ITF Circuit. She has a career-high singles ranking of World No. 150 achieved on 23 August 2021. Prior to her debut performance at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships, her career-high WTA singles ranking was No. 338.
Maria Sakkari has been in the picture since 2010, but this is the first time she has gone beyond the 4th round of the US Open.
Raducanu vs Sakkari, 1.30am GMT
Raducanu, who came through three qualifying matches in order to reach the main draw, is yet to drop a set at Flushing Meadows on her way to the last four. She has seamlessly moved from the outside courts to the US Open’s greatest stage the Arthur Ashe Stadium – and her quarter-final victory over the recent Tokyo Olympic Games gold medallist and 11th seed, Belinda Bencic, stunned experts and fans alike.
Raducanu’s opponent Sakkari played her first events on the ITF Circuit back in 2010 and now, working under British coach Tom Hill, she is enjoying one of the most productive periods of her career. Footage of Raducanu will be there for Hill to use, but it will be in shorter supply than he had for Bianca Andreescu or Karolina Pliskova – Sakkari’s fourth-round and quarter-final opponents – due to Raducanu’s recent arrival on the tour.
