Raducanu can sow the seeds of the 32 players in the upcoming U.S. Open, which is theoretically a more favorable draw she won in the 2021 Junior Qualifiers – at least theoretically – theoretically.
Based on his performance against Sabalenka, Raducanu can participate in the final major of the season.
As her service game provides a solid foundation and backed by the calm and clarity of the baseline, a sultry Cincinnati is easy to walk away.
Sabalenka is well below her best throughout the process, with a strong baseline game that makes the three major champions look vulnerable and unstable.
Raducanu was voice-guided by new coach Francisco Roig, who made the most of it.
In the past, Rakanu withered under these fierce fighting and drainage conditions.
The way she survived the four breakout points in the Decider’s eighth marathon – held the serve through 12 Deuces after 22 minutes – is a great example of a mentality boost in recent months.
However, Sabalenka has an incredible record in tiebreak and shows why by keeping the nerves at the moment of matching definitions.
Despite obvious positive progress, Rado Kanu’s failure means she still won only three of the 17 games against the top ten players and never beat an opponent ranked among the top four in the world.
She hopes this will be faster than later – maybe in New York.
