Raducanu broke onto the scene in 2021 when she lifted the US Open as an 18-year-old after defeating Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in the final with a score of 6-4, 6-3.

That victory was an even more special one considering the fact that she started the competition through a qualification round.

Since then, the Toronto-born has not been able to replicate similar performances on the court, largely because of her fitness concerns.
