Over the summer, as the US Open drew closer, Raducanu acknowledged the possibility that she could lose the 2,040 points she gained in 2021. She is a better tennis player than Raducanu at this moment in time, something that was reflected in the result. Then Raducanu pieced together her cleanest stretch of ball striking and nailed a winning backhand down the line to break for 3-1. She finally reached her first grand slam quarter-final in emotional scenes at the Australian Open and she has beaten Iga Swiatek, Simona Halep, Garbiñe Muguruza and Jelena Ostapenko in majors this year.

In challenging, windy conditions, Raducanu received her most brutal reality check yet as her US Open title defence ended at the first hurdle in a 6-3, 6-3 loss.

11 seed Raducanu hooked a forehand into the net to allow Cornet over the line and took the 51-minute opener. However, a double fault followed by lax forehand in the following game saw Raducanu get back on serve. I should definitely keep the drop shot in my game." But hey 14 points of 15 won at the net was pretty good. I think my game at the net was pretty good too. But I just hung in there and I was fighting my heart out so super happy.

The 19-year-old's ranking will drop to around 80 after a 6-3 6-3 loss to Alize Cornet.

Raducanu admitted she found the conditions tricky, saying: “It was quite windy. But you tape it up and move on it. The assuredness that marked her game 12 months ago just was not there. “But I think that’s just down to humidity and stuff. To be top 100, if you told me that a year ago, I’d take it.” The target will be off my back slightly.

The theme of inconsistency though continued, even as the roof shut to keep out the incoming rain. Service holds were the exception rather than the rule, and Cornet’s all-round game began to shine through. She had zip in her game, particularly her forehand, the shot which did so much damage here last year. At least the wind was an issue for both players. The weather did not help either. It was not a performance that had much crossover with this 10 wins 12 months ago either.

The 19-year-old will drop to around 80 in the rankings after a 6-3 6-3 defeat.

But she could not hold onto the advantage, Cornet breaking back with the wickedest of drop shots and pulling away to claim victory. The Frenchwoman revealed in January she was considering retiring at the end of 2022 but it has been one of the best seasons of her career, with a long-awaited first slam quarter-final in Australia before she ended Iga Swiatek’s 37-match unbeaten run at Wimbledon. She had not lost more than five games in any set last year but Cornet came out on the right side of three successive breaks to lead 5-3 in the opener and showed excellent powers of defence to clinch the set.

I just struggled to adapt to it really. I got a new one. Raducanu admitted she found the conditions tricky, saying: ‘It was quite windy. The assuredness that marked her game 12 months ago just was not there. To be top 100, if you told me that a year ago, I’d take it.’ The target will be off my back slightly.
