Emma Raducanu has been gifted a golden opportunity to instantly atone for her Wimbledon error ahead of the US Open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After all, in the lead-up to the third Grand Slam of the year, it really felt like the 22-year-old was picking up steam.<\/p>\n

She had impressed across the clay-court season following a landmark run in Miami, and the hope was that she could translate this form and rise up the rankings to go deep at the All-England Club.<\/p>\n

And, when she overtook Katie Boulter to reclaim the title of British number one, excitement was justifiably growing.<\/p>\n

However, just as it felt like Emma Raducanu<\/a> was creeping towards a coveted seeded spot for Wimbledon, disaster struck.<\/p>\n

Emma Raducanu got really unlucky before Wimbledon<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was tangible anticipation for Raducanu\u2019s return to Wimbledon<\/a>, especially given how successful her partnership with Mark Petchey had already been across the past few months.<\/p>\n

Many felt that, if she could sneak into the event as a seed, the draw could really open up for her to enjoy a lengthy run in front of her home crowd.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Alas, she was felled in just the Round of 16 by Qinwen Zheng at Queen\u2019s, before then having to pull out of Berlin due to further complications with her back.<\/p>\n

Clearly, this was a decision she had to make, but Raducanu can feel aggrieved that she could not put her Chinese opponent to the sword on a surface where she has impressed in the past, and Zheng had not.<\/p>\n

That was the mistake that Raducanu made which led to her failure to be seeded and subsequent meeting with Aryna Sabalenka in just the third round.<\/p>\n

Emma Raducanu must push to be seeded at the US Open<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortunately, she has a chance to instantly atone for this error ahead of the US Open<\/a>, where she only has a handful of points to defend, and so many to potentially gain.<\/p>\n

Last year, the 2021 US Open champion only played at Washington in the run-up to the final major of the season, choosing to skip Montreal, and being snubbed for a wildcard in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

This time, she seems set to compete in all three events, and is ranked well enough to gain entry without a handout.<\/p>\n

Raducanu reached the quarter-finals in Washington last year, so will have to reach that stage to ensure she does not drop any points.<\/p>\n

However, across the next two Masters events, there is a massive 2,000 points up for grabs. Hopefully, Raducanu\u2019s potential split with Petchey<\/a> does not impact her too much.<\/p>\n

If she can enjoy two solid runs in Montreal and Cincinnati, Raducanu could make up for her Wimbledon failure and grab a seeded spot at the US Open to hopefully allow her to thrive in New York again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Raducanu has been gifted a golden opportunity to instantly atone for her Wimbledon error ahead of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280805,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[1070,79,1068,16,15,5067,5068],"class_list":{"0":"post-280804","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-emma-raducanu","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-tennis","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-us-open","14":"tag-wimbledon"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
