Flawless Again: Raducanu Repeats Dominance in Second Round

Consistency is key, and Emma Raducanu has found it in devastating fashion at the US Open. The British star produced a second consecutive flawless performance, repeating her opening-round dominance with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over qualifier Janice Tjen to reach the third round.
Much like her win against Ena Shibahara, Raducanu started the match at a blistering pace and maintained that high level throughout. Her game was virtually error-free, highlighted by a supreme serving display that saw her win 84% of first-serve points in the opening set. She was in control, composed, and clinical from start to finish.
This consistency is a welcome change for a player whose form has fluctuated over the past few years. To be able to produce such a high level of tennis back-to-back against tricky, in-form opponents is a testament to the work she has put in on and off the court. It shows a newfound mental and physical resilience.
With two dominant performances under her belt, Raducanu has built a solid and reliable foundation for her tournament. She is no longer a player of flashes of brilliance but one who can sustain excellence. This consistency will be her greatest weapon as she faces the elite of the tennis world in the coming rounds.
