The No. 1 Women's Women, Emma Raducanu, has recently received a shock before the 2025 expansion of the US tournament, when she lost to Amanda Anisimova in Canadian Open.
On the 6th day in the aforementioned tournament, Raducanu was very confident to compete with Anisimova that the opponent lost to her in both previous meetings. However, in the third encounter, the situation changed completely. Before the seed No. 5, Raducanu instead of overwhelming competition was very trivial.
In 2 sets, the beautiful English player won only 2 games, so he accepted the final defeat of 2-6 and 1-6. With this result, Raducanu has fallen to 38th place in the WTA rankings. This is a sad reality because when he first entered Canadian Open, Raducanu still ranked 33 and had the opportunity to rise to 32nd place if he collected good results.
Just squeezing the top 32, Raducanu will be classified as a seed to help her face convenient in the US Open. This is at least helping the player born in 2002 to avoid rivals in the “parking” round,
Now Raducanu has been 62 steps away from the second position, while colleagues like Naomi Osaka, Xinyu Wang and Dayana Yastremska have all promoted thanks to Canadian Open. With the current situation, Raducanu needs to try far away in the upcoming WTA 1000 tournament, Cincinnati. To be able to enter the Top 32, at least she had to enter the round for 16 best players.
