After her first clay-court season ended in the French Open second round, expectations will grow as Wimbledon beckons.

The only other teenagers above her in the race are Coco Gauff and Leylah Fernandez. Even without her US Open title, simply reaching the top 100 just a year after her WTA debut would have been a significant achievement. Over the past year, Raducanu has certainly made decisions to be questioned, such as her well-publicised coaching situation. In the WTA Race, the yearly rankings, Raducanu currently sits at 61st, a more accurate reflection of her current stature than her ranking of 11. She was clearly not physically or mentally prepared for the rigours of the tour yet she was able to play at the highest level for 10 consecutive matches from qualifying, winning without dropping a set. She has had to adjust to the reality of being a grand slam champion: the target on her back in the locker room, the scrutiny outside of it, the reality that she no longer has nothing to lose on court and even a stalker invading her privacy. As Emma Raducanu dusted the dirt off her clay-court shoes and discarded them until next year after her second-round loss to Aliaksandra Sasnovich on Wednesday, a notable cycle came to a close.

She struggled with a blister on her racket hand in the Australian Open second-round defeat and also retired with a leg injury from a lengthy opening-round match in Mexico.

This however proved to be short lived, after her stay at Roland Garros came to an end just two days later at the hands of Sasnovich.

John McEnroe has slammed Emma Raducanu's coaching decision after the British tennis sensation was knocked out of the French Open.
