Three Grand Slams this year haven’t yielded anything significant for the US Open Champion Emma Raducanu as she was sent packing beyond making the second rounds of the tournaments in the discussion. Barbara Schett believes this might result in her significant drop in WTA ranking furthermore elaborating why the young tennis professional needs to develop her skills drastically to cut in the upcoming Flushing Meadows showdown.

The British No.1 was recently suffered a humiliating loss and was shown the door at the ongoing Cincinnati Masters where she was ousted with a straight set flush score of 7-5,6-4 against USA’s Jessica Pegula and this isn’t the first time the young champ has been seen with an early departure in as many months. The formerly ranked World No. 7 has had a series of unfortunate defeats this season due to which the EuroSport expert has her doubts regarding the Brit defending her US Open title this year.

During the course of her discussion of the Brit’s recent performances witnessed, Barbara went on to say that the young player is still only 19 years old and has still so much time to develop. However, the expert stays under the distinct belief that her outcome in the upcoming US Open beginning on 29th August would likely be a similar story unless she develops a “signature shot” so she can make “everyone afraid” further adding to the issue by stating, “The way she’s been playing this year, there’s a good chance this is going to happen”.

Despite her cherishable victory against Serena Williams, the expert went on to notably highlight the major concerns Emma Raducanu will face, stating “But she’s prepared, I think, and she wants to prepare for the journalists as well because she’s probably going to get a very hard time, especially from the Brits.”

Unfortunately enough, if the Brit’s early exit as anticipated by Barbara Schett comes to life, her ranking will be pushed outside of the top 60 WTA ranking.
