By the Numbers: Raducanu’s Dominance Mirrors 2021 Stats

The 6-2, 6-1 scoreline only tells part of the story; the underlying statistics of Emma Raducanu’s second-round win reveal a performance eerily similar to her dominant 2021 US Open campaign. The British star was ruthlessly efficient in a match that was a masterclass in clean, aggressive tennis.
Raducanu’s serve was the bedrock of her victory. With a high first-serve percentage and an even higher win rate on those points, she gave Janice Tjen virtually no openings. This was complemented by an impressive winners-to-unforced-errors ratio, as Raducanu consistently found the lines without taking unnecessary risks, a key hallmark of her championship run.
Furthermore, her performance on crucial points was flawless. She was clinical on break point opportunities, converting them with relentless pressure while saving the few she faced on her own serve. This ability to elevate her game in key moments is what separates champions, and the numbers prove she has it in abundance once again.
Against an opponent who entered the match with a staggering win-loss record since turning pro, Raducanu’s statistical dominance is a powerful indicator of her current level. As she prepares for tougher rounds, her stats send a clear warning: she is playing championship-level tennis once more.
