Emma Raducanu came up short in the Mubadala Citi DC Open semi-final as she was beaten in straight sets by Anna Kalinskaya, but it was an excellent week for the Brit as she has surged up the rankings and walked away with some decent prize money.
The 22-year-old, who started the WTA 500 tournament at No 46 in the WTA Rankings, kicked off her campaign against seventh seed Marta Kostyuk and won in straight sets before another two-set victory over former world No 1 and four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka.
Raducanu made it three wins in a row as she booked her place in the semi-final with a 6-4, 7-5 win over former world No 3 Maria Sakkari, but her run was ended by Kalinskaya as the Russian came away with a dominant 6-4, 6-3 victory.
It was a week of progress for the British player in Washington DC as she showed glimpses of the former that helped her to storm to the 2021 US Open title as a qualifier.
WTA Points Earned By Raducanu
Players who reach the semi-final of WTA tournaments pick up 195 ranking points, but they also have to defend points from the same period 12 months ago. But there is good news and bad news for Raduanu.
First, the bad news as she reached the quarter-final in 2024, so she had 108 points to defend, which means she effectively earned 87 points for her last-four appearances.
Now for the good news, the Washington DC event was staged a week later in 2024 (July 29 – August 4) due to the Paris Olympics so those points will only drop next week.

What is Emma Raducanu’s WTA Ranking in the women’s doubles?
It means the full 195 points were added to Raducanu’s tally for a total of 1406, and she has jumped 13 places to No 33 in the Live Rankings. Of course, those 108 points will be deducted next week.
But when the WTA Rankings are updated on Monday, July 28, she will be safely inside the top 35, while she will also regain the British No 1 ranking, having lost it again to Katie Boulter after Wimbledon.
Raducanu also teamed up with Elena Rybakina in the doubles and they also earned 195 points each for reaching the semi-final. The Brit is set to rise 296 places to No 273 in the doubles rankings.
WTA Prize Money Earned By Raducanu
