"It's very exciting to win, and although I've won the US Open Grand Slam, I've had a lot of ups and downs in the last few years, and now it's a big deal." Raducanu, who made a name for herself at Flushing Park in New York in 2021, and at the age of 18, she created a Cinderella legend after winning 10 consecutive matches since qualifying. Because when I won the US Open, I didn't go through a losing slump and I didn't lose for months in a row, and now it looks like it's really quite special and I think it's more meaningful than some of the events at the US Open. ”
Raducanu, who is currently ranked 60th in the world women's singles, said bluntly that the deciding set was exhausted, "I'm so tired that I can't see any way to reverse it." But then I don't know where to get the energy back, I think it's adrenaline to run. I have to find a way to win every point and I'm proud to fight to the end. Advancing to the third round of Hard Rock Stadium in Florida, she will face another American player, Kessler, for a ticket to the last 16 of the Women's Singles.
