Emma Raducanu after reaching 1st QF since 2022: Emma: “I must say I’m not too surprised. I’ve been working really hard. I knew it was a matter of time. I don’t think this is my best. I still have a long way to go. I’m really happy the rewards are starting to come on the match…
"Zero to lose": Emma Raducanu goes into blockbuster Iga Swiatek clash without expectation in Stuttgart
WTAFriday, 19 April 2024 at 07:38
Emma Raducanu will head into her clash with Iga Swiatek not expected to win, but it will still headline a quality Quarter-Final line-up at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart and this is the view of the former US Open champion.
Raducanu thrashed Linda Noskova 6-0 in the opening set and then took a slender break 7-5 to seal the second and with that the win. It was yet another win for the Brit who has been in superb form over the past week both in Stuttgart and Billie Jean King Cup. But she also admits that she is very much tired due to the amount of tennis she has played. Swiatek opened her campaign up with a win over Elise Mertens and despite a fairly simple straight sets win wasn't that emphatic. Could Raducanu sense an opportunity? It is a clash that she has memories from.
“Yeah, I mean, I remember. We actually had a pretty tough match. I think it was like 4 and 4, something like that. But I remember I served really well in that match and it kept me in. It's obviously tough playing Iga because she plays pretty heavy, she plays fast.” Raducanu said.

“She has a lot of options at her disposal. It's obviously going to be a really difficult match tomorrow but one where I have zero to lose and I think one that the crowd really wants to see."
"It's no secret that I'm tired. I mean, I have played, like, a lot of tennis in the last week, but I'd way rather be in this position where I have a lot of matches under my belt, feeling confident and good on the court, and tired,"
