Analysis: Teen Slam champ Raducanu still winning, learning

Associated Press  

At this time two years ago, Emma Raducanu was participating in the Australian Open junior event — and losing in the first round. “I think 2022 is all about learning for me,” she said after beating 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 in the Australian Open’s first round. “Now it’s just: Get back on the practice court, get ready for the next tournament and the next match and see how it goes the next Grand Slam.” That sort of level-headed thinking is vital. “I’m just looking forward to building on this, going forward, trying to recover as best as I can for my next match,” said Raducanu, who split with her coach shortly after the U.S. Open and is now with Torben Beltz, former coach of three-time major champion Angelique Kerber. I’m having huge expectations.” But when the Australian Open started, Swiatek said, “I came back to normal.” She got to the fourth round — and made it at least that far at every Slam since, plus reached the Top 10.
