The empire has struck back. After years of battling for form and fitness, former US Open champion Emma Raducanu has reminded the tennis world of her champion caliber with a stunning 6-2, 6-1 victory over Janice Tjen, a performance that echoes her past glory.
For a long time, Raducanu’s 2021 title felt like a beautiful but distant memory. Now, she is playing with the same authority and power that made her a household name. Her dismantling of Tjen was not just a win; it was a reassertion of her place among the game’s elite.
She displayed all the qualities of a champion: a powerful serve under pressure, punishing groundstrokes, and a ruthless competitive instinct. She faced a dangerous opponent and dispatched her with the efficiency and dominance that was her trademark during her title run.
The rest of the field has been put on notice. The champion who took the world by storm is back, and she looks more formidable than ever. This victory was a powerful statement that her reign in New York may not have been a one-time event, but the beginning of a dynasty.
