“When the very high game against me, they have a point to prove that they are at the top, and they are there for a reason,” said Raducanu, champion of the US Open 2021.
“While I improve myself, I do better, that I may gain a little more respect around, the top has definitely increased its game. Each time I played one, they have somehow shown it.

“There are certain parts of my game that have improved for sure. Today, my weaknesses have been highlighted, but I think it’s only three weeks, and it cannot really do miracles.
