Rampant Emma Raducanu Cruises Past Victoria Azarenka In Cincinnati Tennis

After the euphoria and adrenaline that overwhelmed Serena Williams in front of her thundering home crowd, Raducanu was tasked to forget all that and move on quickly, another former No. 1 to come. She rose to the challenge with supreme, astonishing ease, following up Williams’ demolition with an even more devastating performance. In just 62 minutes Raducanu thrashed Victoria Azarenka 6-0, 6-2 to reach the third round on her Cincinnati debut. At the most opportune time, with the defense of her US Open title one tournament away, Raducanu’s confidence continues to grow. While she noted the need to cherish those moments against players she had grown up watching win grand slams, Raducanu said she went into both matches rooting for herself. “I just had to focus on what I could control and at times you can’t think about who’s on the other end of the pitch,” he said. “You just have to play the ball.” Throughout this week, Raducanu has spoken of her intention to not be “too low or too high” after moments last year where either her exuberance or negativity didn’t help her unlock her best tennis. “I think I’ve tried a lot of things and this year I think some matches, I’ve lost a lot of matches from leading situations and probably played too tense,” he said. “I think I just have to swing and I just said these two tournaments, or this tournament especially, I’m going to swing freely and take it and see what happens.” One of the most difficult tasks in professional tennis is to sustain a big win while remaining focused enough to produce the same quality of tennis in subsequent rounds. It was immediately clear there would be no hangover as she broke Azarenka’s serve in the opening game and raced with the lead, hugging the baseline and stealing time from the Belarusian with her early forehand while making few errors. While Raducanu played exceptionally well, Azarenka’s performance was abysmal. He unforced errors and moved slowly, ending the first set with just four winners on 16 errors in the first set alone. Earlier, Raducanu said she intended to be “stingy” with her game, not allowing opponents free points, and she lived that stinginess to the fullest as she raced to a 6-0, 4-0 lead, dangerously close to causing the first in Azarenka. double bun. ‘Amazing to share the court with her’: Raducanu takes on Williams – video At 33 and a stagnant ranking of 22, Azarenka is further removed from her days as a top player than Williams, her run to the 2020 US Open final an anomaly in the six years since she was a player of Top 10. Raducanu effectively exposed these weaknesses and Azarenka could only fight for her reputation. He held serve twice before Raducanu closed out the win without a problem.

This week marks Raducanu’s second tournament accompanied by coach Dmitry Tursunov, who began his trial period at the Citi Open and is apparently going well. In the two events with them, he has won back-to-back races each time and has made clear progress. More generally, her appearances are a reminder that even when players struggle, momentum can build quickly. There are tougher challenges ahead for players competing at the top level in their natural primes, and another barometer awaits. Raducanu will next face American Jessica Pegula, the much improved seventh seed, who will be just the second top 10 opponent of Raducanu’s career. However, it’s been a week or so. While Williams’ presence has been felt in tennis since Raducanu was born, she noted that she has also been watching Azarenka since the beginning of her career. When Azarenka competed in the 2020 US Open final, Raducanu was studying for her exams, dreaming of one day joining her on those stages. “I think after the tournament I have to, you know, take a step back and say, ‘Look, like, you just beat two incredible champions.’ It is a very good achievement. You know how hard wins are to come,” he said.
