@tiebreak.tennis.club: From fairy-tale champion to resilient warrior: Emma Raducanu's journey is the stuff of tennis legend! 🏆 In 2021, as an 18-year-old qualifier ranked No. 150, she stunned the world at the US Open—winning her first-ever Grand Slam without dropping a single set! She crushed top seeds like No. 12 Belinda Bencic and No. 18 Maria Sakkari en route to a 6-4, 6-3 final victory over Leylah Fernandez, becoming the first qualifier in Open Era history to claim a major title and the youngest British woman to do so since Virginia Wade in 1977. Talk about a dream debut—ten straight wins in her second major main draw! 💥 But the road since? A tough battle with injuries, coaching changes, and the weight of expectations that saw her ranking dip as low as No. 83. First-round exits at the US Open in 2022 and 2023 piled on the pressure, testing her fire. Yet, Emma never quit—she fought through surgeries, setbacks, and self-doubt, rebuilding step by step. Her career record against top-10 players? A gritty 3-13, but every match has been a lesson fueling her comeback. 🔥 Fast-forward to 2025: She's ROARING back! With a stellar 26-18 win-loss record YTD (her best season yet), she's climbed to No. 34 in the world and notched over $1.3M in prize money. Highlights? A career-first R4 at a clay WTA 1000 (Madrid), a battling R3 at the Australian Open, and a solid push at Wimbledon where she pushed World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a gripping third-round clash. But Flushing Meadows? That's where the magic reignited—her first US Open wins since '21! She demolished Ena Shibahara 6-1, 6-2 (her quickest Grand Slam main-draw victory ever in just 62 minutes) and qualifier Janice Tjen 6-2, 6-1, losing only six games across both matches, breaking serve eight times, and winning 78% of first-serve points (55/70). Five aces in one set alone? Emma's serve is ON FIRE! Though she fell 6-1, 6-2 to Elena Rybakina in R3, those dominant displays scream resurgence—she's embracing the pressure like never before. 🌟 Emma's story reminds us: True champions rise stronger. Can't wait to see her dominate more in 2025! Who's cheering her on? 👏 #EmmaRaducanu #USOpen #TennisComeback #BritishPride
