"Margins between winning and losing are small" says Raducanu on journey from Wimbledon to 125 K events

Emma Raducanu tasted her first success at the Wimbledon Championships where she made a breakthrough taking down several seasoned players.
Since then it has been a slow grind for Raducanu who once again found herself playing lower-level events in order to better her ranking which would allow her to compete at bigger events. For Emma there is not a lot of difference between Grand Slams and ITF events as she explained:
"At this level, every single player is great and the margins between winning and losing are so small. You have to be on your game against every single opponent. And I think just focusing on the match in front of me is the biggest thing that I've been able to do over the last few weeks."
The British player is not one to run away from a challenge which she explained on the example of the Chicago WTA 125 K event she played last week:
"When I saw the Chicago draw [against Van Uytvanck], I was secretly loving it, because I love a challenge. I practiced with Alison on the grass and she's got a huge game. I knew it was going to be a very difficult match, but I like being the underdog. You feel like you've got nothing to lose."
Her next goal is to qualify for the US Open which is set to begin next week.
