Raducanu and Fernandez to suffer significant drop on WTA Rankings
WTAMonday, 12 September 2022 at 12:15
Last year's finalists Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez will suffer significant drops in the rankings on Monday due to their poor performance this year.
Both Raducanu and Fernandez lost early in the event and will lose all of the points they earned during their superb run in Flushing Meadows last year. Raducanu and Fernandez both disappointed with the performances but Emma was more accepting of it admitting that she's going to embrace whatever comes after.
It will a hard road for the Brit who will drop 72 spots on the rankings and landing on number 83. That's well out of range for WTA 1000 events and even some lesser events will be tricky to get into. She said she is ready to prove herself and restart from scratch and now she'll have to chance to back that up.
The drop for Fernandez is less drastic as she is only going to fall 26 spots to number 40. That's fairly solid for her and considering the time she missed with injury, it's not too bad. She certainly proved herself more than Raducanu over the last couple of years.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
