Emma Raducanu loses another Majors - is she going to stop showing up everywhere now?

[Anonymous]

Lost Australian Open after winning US Open and losing Wimbledon. Seems her one-time win was a fluke more than anything else. BTW she's also down to No. 18 in the world.

I'm going to assume this is a troll post because Emma is just getting started with her career. Two of the majors she has played in, she got in as a qualifier. That ranking of #18? That is her highest ranking.

In any major tournament, there are typically 128 pros competing for the title.

There can be only 1 winner, so 127 pros fail to win.

By your logic, do you believe that these 127 are going to stop playing professional tennis?

Actually she’s 14 in the live rankings - she didn’t play Australia last year, so any points are better than none, and have increased her ranking. Adios troll.

You’ve just been foaming at the mouth to tear down a woman who has seen some success, haven’t you?

why would you stop seeing a young, conventionally attractive, and talented athlete in media just because she doesn’t always win? I see tons of NFL quarterbacks in media all the time and obviously they aren’t all winning the super bowl year after year.

Oh yeah, team sports vs individual sports are the same thing. A better comparison would be Raducanu vs Maria Sharapova who was everywhere even when she constantly lost.

She’s representing China even though she grew up here

I am going to assume you don't watch a lot of tennis to know how rankings in the WTA and ATP works. Rankings are notoriously questionable, especially with covid in the last year canceling events. Slam winners are given 2000 points, followed by other annual events that can give players 1000, 500, etc. If a player does not participate and win in the event, their points expires and the rankings shift.

Raducanu was still in high school last May, taking her A levels. She barely has a few real tournament participation under her belt. I would not call her win at US Open a fluke, more so than the fact she happened to play really well at that time. Shows potentially but no one really knows what her true level is. Poor girl has a target on her back with everyone wanting to beat the US Open champ.

I would say her ranking is likely around top 100 rather than the inflated #18 from her Slam point winnings. I also saw her recent match plays at the Australian Open. Between Covid knocking out her pre-season preparation, blisters from trying to ramp up her training, I thought she did well. Excited to see what she brings to the women's tour in another year or two. At the least, she seems like a nice human.
