Romanian cuisine, courtesy of her grandmother in Bucharest.[15] 2021.
She also speaks Romanian, which she uses to communicate with
her grandmother in Romania.[16]

Raducanu has attributed her mentality and ethics to her role models, tennis players Simona Halep and Li Na
(who are from countries of her ancestry).[17]

Junior career
Raducanu won the ITF Chandigarh Lawn Tennis girls tournament at the beginning of 2018.[18] In 2018 she
won ITF grade-3 at Chandigarh and grade-2 junior tournament at New Delhi both in India.[19] Raducanu
defeated Diana Khodan of Ukraine in the final at Chandigarh, held at Chandigarh Lawn Tennis Association
Stadium, where she won in straight sets.[20]

Later that year, she reached the girls' singles quarterfinals at both the Wimbledon Championships and the
US Open.[21] At Wimbledon, Raducanu defeated Leylah Fernandez in the second round, a feat she would
eventually repeat in the senior US Open final three years later.[22]

Professional career
Raducanu turned professional in 2018.[23] She alternated between junior and professional tournaments
during 2018 and 2019.[24]

In 2019 Raducanu competed in the Solapur Open in Maharashtra. She reached the second round in the
Solapur Open women's ITF $25K tennis tournament, retiring in the second round.[25][26] She won the ITF
NECC-Deccan $25,000 tournament in Pune, India, in December 2019.[27][28] In the final at Deccan
Gymkhana club, she won against Naiktha Bains in three sets. Her semifinal and quarterfinal victories came
in three sets.[29] It was her best title victory before winning the 2021 US Open.[30]

In 2020, many tennis events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[31] Raducanu participated in
exhibition matches and small tournaments in the United Kingdom. She won the LTA British Tour Masters
title in December 2020.[24] She also devoted time to her academic studies, preparing for her A-Levels
(which she took in 2021).[32][33]
 2021: WTA Tour debut, US Open title, and top
25

At the beginning of June, Raducanu made her WTA Tour main

draw debut at the 2021 Nottingham Open as a wildcard entry. She
lost in the first round to fellow Briton Harriet Dart.[34][35]

In late June, Raducanu made her main draw Grand Slam debut on
a wildcard to the 2021 Wimbledon Championships.[36] She
advanced to the third round with initial victories over Vitalia
Diatchenko[37] and Markéta Vondroušová.[38] She was the
youngest British woman to reach the Wimbledon third round since
Elena Baltacha in 2002.[39] She then defeated Sorana Cîrstea to
reach the fourth round,[23] becoming, at 18 years and 239 days old,
the youngest British woman to reach the last 16 in the Open
Raducanu during the Billie Jean King
Era,[40][41] and guaranteeing her entry to the world's top 200,
Cup qualifiers in February 2020.
having been ranked world No. 338 at the start of
Wimbledon.[42][43][44][45] On 5 July 2021, Raducanu retired in the
second set of her fourth round match against Ajla Tomljanović,
after experiencing breathing difficulties.[46][47]

Raducanu played at the Silicon Valley Classic, the first women's tournament in the annual US Open Series,
in August, again receiving a wildcard to enter the tournament.[48] She lost in the first round to Zhang
Shuai.[49] She changed her coach during this time from Nigel Sears, father-in-law of former world No. 1
Andy Murray, to Andrew Richardson, one of her youth coaches.[50] In the warm-up to the US Open,
Raducanu reached the final of the WTA 125 event in Chicago, where she lost to Clara Tauson.[51] The
WTA ranking points she gained brought her to a new career high ranking of world No. 150.

At the US Open, Raducanu beat Bibiane Schoofs, Mariam Bolkvadze, and Mayar Sherif in straight sets in
qualifying to enter the main draw. There, she beat Stefanie Vögele, Zhang Shuai, Sara Sorribes Tormo,
Shelby Rogers, Belinda Bencic, and Maria Sakkari to reach the final, without dropping a set.[52][53] She
gained more than 100 ranking places, entering the top 25 and displacing Johanna Konta to become British
No. 1.[54][55][56] She became the only singles qualifier to reach the semifinal[57] and final of the US Open
in the Open Era, and the youngest player to reach the final since Maria Sharapova in 2005.[58] She was also
the fifth player in the Open Era to make the semifinal on her US Open debut.[59] Following her win over
Maria Sakkari in the semifinals, Raducanu became the second player born in 2002 to reach the final of the
US Open and the first British woman to reach the US Open final since Virginia Wade in 1968.[60] Wade
attended several of Raducanu's matches, including the final.[61]

Raducanu defeated Leylah Fernandez in two sets in what was the first all-teenage women's singles final
since the 1999 US Open between Serena Williams and Martina Hingis.[62][63] She won the title without
dropping a set, the first woman to do so at the US Open since Williams in 2014. Raducanu was the first
qualifier to win a Grand Slam tournament in the Open Era, and the first woman in the Open Era to win a
major tournament on her second appearance.[63][64] It also meant that she became just the second US Open
debutante after Bianca Andreescu to win the tournament.[65][66]

As a result of her US Open victory, Raducanu rose to No. 23 in the world rankings.[67] She was the first
British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since Wade at Wimbledon in 1977, and the first British
Grand Slam singles champion since Andy Murray at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships.[68]

Playing style
Raducanu is an aggressive baseliner. As her playing style is focused on offence, she typically hits a
considerable number of winners; despite her aggressive playing style, Raducanu typically minimises
unforced errors and focuses on rallying until she creates the opportunity to hit a winner. Raducanu excels at
hitting the ball early on the rise, and is adept at redirecting power down the line, taking time away from her
opponents; her signature shot is her backhand down-the-line.[69] Her groundstrokes are typically hit very
flat, with little topspin applied, allowing her to dictate play from the baseline. Raducanu's greatest strength is
her two-handed backhand, which is hit with considerable depth, speed, and penetration; her backhand was
described as "world-class" by former British No. 1 Anne Keothavong.[70] Raducanu does have the ability
to hit her backhand one-handed with slice, to break up the pace of rallies and disrupt her opponent's rhythm,
however, she does not utilise this shot frequently.[71]

Raducanu's forehand is also strong, and she is capable of hitting winners with this stroke, especially when
redirecting power down-the-line; her forehand is more volatile than her backhand, however, and is targeted
by players acquainted with her style of play. Raducanu possesses an aggressive serve, peaking at 110 mph
(177 km/h), allowing her to serve multiple aces per match; this is aided by her consistent ball toss, and
accurate serve positioning. Despite this, Raducanu's most effective serve is her wide, sliced serve, with
which she can dominate play; she utilised this serve during the 2021 US Open final against Leylah
Fernandez on her third championship point, serving an ace to close out the match.[72] Raducanu's second
serve is strong, typically being delivered at a higher speed than the WTA average, at 93 mph (150 km/h);
however, her accuracy when delivering her second serve confounds opponents, and allows her to dictate
play from a frequently defensive position.[73]

One of Raducanu's major strengths is her aggressive return of serve; she typically neutralises strong first
serves by returning the ball hard, close to the baseline, and down the middle, cutting off her opponent's
angle, and setting herself up for an aggressive second shot. She also frequently punishes short second
serves, and she hits many second-serve return winners in any given match.[74][75] When playing
defensively, Raducanu excels at absorbing, generating, and redirecting power both down-the-line and cross-
court, allowing her to turn defence into offence effectively.[76]

Further strengths include Raducanu's movement, speed, footwork, court coverage, anticipation, and sense of
balance, allowing her to rally and defend effectively against aggressive opponents, and to induce unforced
errors from such players.[77] She also excels at intelligent point construction, approaching each point with
tactical flexibility, making it difficult for opponents to read her game.[78] Despite typically playing from the
baseline, Raducanu is a capable net player, attacking short balls with powerful swinging volleys, and she is
capable of finishing points at the net. Raducanu possesses an effective drop shot, and can utilise aggressive
drop shot/lob combinations to win points when given the opportunity. Due to her aggressive groundstrokes,
her highly athletic playing style, and her defensive capabilities, she has been compared to her sporting idols,
Li Na and Simona Halep. Despite being comfortable on all surfaces, Raducanu has stated that she prefers
hard courts, where she won her maiden Grand Slam title.[79]
