Reply to comment by retrograderevolution in Emma Raducanu bows out in second-round loss to Coco Gauff. by PrincessBananas85

She took Coco Gauff to a tiebreak in the second. 6-3 in the first. That's not an embarrassing score against a really, really good player. She's still young and not at full fitness, still think there is more to come from Raducanu.

Maybe there is maybe there isn’t but a loss against Coco, someone who can definitely win this year, shouldn’t be looked at so negatively as the comments in here.

I’m not usually big on sports but comparing her to the woman she lost to sounds like comparing a first year basketball player fresh out of college to Michael Jordan. It’s just not a fair matchup at that point and isn’t really indicative of skill.

Except for the part where the woman who beat her is 1.5 years younger than her. They are peers, Coco is the leading contender of her generation to dethrone Iga. Raducanu is so far a one-hit wonder who needs to prove she can handle the physical strain of the tour.
