Emma Raducanu believes the best players in the world feel they have a “point to prove” against her because of the British No 1’s early grand slam success after a 6-1 6-2 defeat to Elena Rybakina in the US Open third round.
Raducanu has lost to high-ranked opponents in each of the four grand slam tournaments this season, going down heavily to Iga Swiatek at the Australian Open and the French Open and pushing Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon.
