Leif Shiras believes Raducanu's US Open win was not an anomaly and that multiple majors are certainly possible for the Brit.
Speaking to Sky Sports the former player and current journalist spoke highly of Raducanu explaining how the sport really embraced her:
"When you have a player that wins an event with such elegancy and grace, that's always welcome in any sport. It's quite remarkable to have a young athlete like that. In the States, we've embraced her in a big way. I think she's a sensation and everyone is asking about Emma."
Shiras was also asked about her future where many predicted multiple grand slams to which he replied:
"If it only were that easy. She is a young player, there will be a microscope on her, there will be pressure on her. Everyone will also be gunning for her because so many admire and respect her now. She's just going to have to find her best tennis more consistently and that's difficult."
Shiras also added that more grand slams are certainly on the cards for Raducanu her future:
"There is still a lot of things in her game that she can learn and improve. There are some holes in there. She needs to add in a bit of variety. Similar to what Ash Barty does so well and if she can do that she will be great. She certainly can win a 2nd major in the future."
