"I didn't have the losses, the downs": Emma Raducanu admits win over Emma Navarro means more than some of her US Open run
WTA
Emma Raducanu will face McCartney Kessler tonight in the third round of the Miami Open after taking down Emma Navarro earlier this week. But it was this win she ranked as number one and above some of her US Open triumph.
Asked to give reasoning why, she said she has more scar tissue now while back then she didn't. Raducanu also said that it was more of a triumph emotionally also after what has been a tough few months.
She has been injured and has battled inconsistent form as well as even coaching changes recently. Mark Petchey for instance is involved adhoc this week as she aims for a more permanent solution.

“Yeah, it was a lot of emotions when I won. I know I won the US Open, but I think having been through so much in the last few years, it's like the wins now mean so much more," she said in press as per The Tennis Letter.
"I don't think it's been an easy couple of months. I have had a lot going on on and off the court.
"I think my goal is to just get to a place where I feel a lot more set and stable with my surroundings. This week I have amazing people who have known me for a very long time. I feel very secure and happy and wanting to fight for them, as well.
"It's a really nice feeling. It has been quite emotional, and, you know, it's taken a lot out of me. But I'm just so happy to be, like, fighting here, and all the wins here just give me extra fuel, extra energy.”
Asked to give reasoning behind the better than US Open comment, she opened up about that as she prepares to face Kessler.
“Well, I mean, I would say not
necessarily more in terms of magnitude, but I would say emotionally, just a lot more aware of all of the suffering as
well, because, you know, when I won the US Open, I just won 10 matches in straight sets. It was, I mean, I didn't have, like, the losses, the downs, the months of, like, losing streaks.
I think to come out of it now, it does, yeah, I'd say it means a lot more than certain matches at the US Open, yeah.”
