Emma Raducanu plummeted down the rankings following her first round loss at this year’s US Open. Having reached a career high of number 10 last summer and spending the better part of the past year inside the top 15, the teen fell outside the top 80.
As the Brit bids to ascend the rankings once again, Raducanu reached the round of 16 in Slovenia last week and on Friday she will play Magda Linette in the quarter-finals of the Korea Open. Should the Bromley local emerge victorious, she will record three consecutive wins for the first time since her historic win in New York last September.
A victory will mark the first time Raducanu has reached the last four of any event since the 2021 US Open. Since winning the American grand slam without dropping a set in just her second appearance at a major, Raducanu became a global superstar overnight.
