The US Open qualifiers begin this week in the build-up to the final Grand Slam of the calendar year in 2022.
Emma Raducanu’s journey at last year’s tournament saw her become the first qualifier in history to win a Grand Slam tournament and her experience will have widened eyes ahead of this year’s edition.
The British women’s No.1 faces a pivotal spell in her career. Of her 2756 points going into the US Open, 2500 were collected from her victory in New York last year. A first round defeat would see her points wiped off the board and she stands to plunge from world No.11 to as low as No.85.
Raducanu has experienced a mixed year on the WTA Tour having failed to fully capitalise on her smooth entry into every big tournament on the calendar. However, she defeated Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka in Cincinnati last week to demonstrate she has form on hard courts.
Fans across the world will be excited to see the US Open rumble into life, and they can get a sneak peek at major talents who could cause an upset when the qualifiers begin this week.
