Raducanu’s Rampage: Brit Continues to Tear Through US Open Draw

Emma Raducanu’s rampage through the early rounds of the US Open continued as she tore apart qualifier Janice Tjen in a blistering 6-2, 6-1 victory. For the second match in a row, the British star was simply on another level, playing with a ferocious intensity that has left her opponents with nowhere to hide.
The match on Louis Armstrong Stadium was a blur of winners and aces from Raducanu’s racket. She burst out of the gates at a high level and never let up, maintaining a relentless pace that Tjen could not handle. The Indonesian, who has been on a remarkable run herself, was a mere spectator for much of the contest as Raducanu dictated every point.
This dominant run is a far cry from the struggles Raducanu has faced for much of the past few years. She is playing with a renewed hunger and a clear strategy: to overpower the opposition. Her work on developing a more aggressive, front-foot game is paying off spectacularly on the fast courts of New York.
Having spent minimal time on court and dropped just six games through two matches, Raducanu’s rampage has put her in an excellent position moving forward. She is fresh, confident, and playing arguably the best tennis of her career since her 2021 title. The rest of the draw has been warned.
