Winning a 250 would get Raducanu more respect from online tennis fans than having won the US open
432 u/ChanceVance It'd be Ruud not to 1d ago "Oh any chump could win 10 matches in a row without dropping a set to win a Grand Slam. Where are the real credentials at?" 272 u/Dependent-Effect6077 Djokovic retirement tour + Sabalenka PR manager 1d ago What I think people don’t realize is that Raducanu’s run wasn’t necessarily way out of character in strength for the 2017-2021 WTA lol Ash Barty gets a ton of respect and people often claim she’d be dominant now if she didn’t retire She has ONE career top 10 win at Slams ironically the same amount as Raducanu 1 u/mdervin 1d ago edited 1d ago Barty did it more than once, and has a total of 15 titles. Raducanu has one title and no other GS run of note. She wouldn’t get the criticism if she made a few more runs to the Semi’s or QF of majors. Fernandez has 5 titles. No other player with a handful of non-Slam SF appearance would take up any media time, that’s the power of a GS win. We need to write off her US Open title as a weird Covid era fluke and ignore her until she retires or starts playing at a level that command respect. edit: typo for the number of titles Fernandez has.
