"Should just retire at this point": Emma Raducanu receives criticism from tennis fans after brutal Anhelina Kalinina loss in Doha
WTAMonday, 12 February 2024 at 22:00
The 21-year-old tennis player experienced her first-round exit of the season in four tournaments, displaying a subpar performance. Despite showing some promising performances upon her return to the WTA Tour, she struggles to secure consecutive victories.
Raducanu has no upcoming tournaments in the next few weeks of February and could potentially return at the next Indian Wells, scheduled between March 6-17. However, she hopes to receive a wild card since her ranking won't be sufficient for direct entry.
The former world No. 10 acknowledged that the match's timing affected her and that she still needs time to readjust to the schedule: “It was a combination of things. It was my first day-match I have played in a year. That is different,” Raducanu said.
"I just struggled with the timing of the ball. It will come with more time practicing as well as matches. It is hard for me to get used to the tour schedule,” she added.
However, fan criticisms were relentless in what has arguably been Raducanu's worst match in the early stages of 2024. Here are some comments from fans on social media:
“She should just retire at this point. it's a disgrace”
“48 unforced errors from Raducanu. Absolutely shambolic.”

“This match was never gonna go 3 sets… raducanu in a hurry to get take some pictures for her instagram”

Anyone else feel like #emmaraducanu just isn’t in it? So inconsistent injuries i know but there appears to be a lack of desire & grit Are we going to be forced to get used to players who are preoccupied with social media & sponsors a kind of split career?? #Tennis #socialmedia
Whatever magic Emma once had appears to be gone. a perpetual qualifier now. She made her money tho, so doesn't really need tennis.
Raducanu is embarrassing But it’s normal, she is prioritizing being an influencer than a tennis player
Winning the US Open was almost the worst thing for Raducanu. People expect big results from her, but she’s only ever had one big result.
Kalina, who had a very poor start of the season, gets a good win over Emma Raducanu 6-0, 7-6(6) to reach the 2nd round in Doha. Saved on set point in the tiebreak. Emma struggled with her serve a lot today. Kalinina vs. Ostapenko tomorrow
She struggles with everything since she’s simply not a good player

Raducanu is another one that I think would benefit from dropping down and playing lower level events. Getting these wildcards and crashing out early at big events is doing nothing for her game
