Emma Raducanu remains optimistic following her 6-1, 6-2 loss to Elena Rybakina at the U.S. Open. The British tennis star aims to build on her summer progress, having performed well at recent tournaments and acknowledges the need to improve her ranking after facing top opponents at major events.

Emma Raducanu brushed off a tough 6-1, 6-2 defeat at the hands of Elena Rybakina at the U.S. Open on Friday, channeling the disappointing outcome into a new impetus for her future performance.
Raducanu demonstrated significant progress this summer, achieving impressive victories at Flushing Meadows and a powerful third-round appearance against Aryna Sabalenka at the Cincinnati Open. She has also advanced to the semi-finals of the Washington Open, underscoring her improving form.
The 22-year-old athlete recognizes the challenge of competing against top players like Iga Swiatek, Sabalenka, and now Rybakina, as her ranking allows for early matches against elite opponents. Still, Raducanu sees this as a motivating factor and acknowledges the work needed to close the competitive gap.
