Overview

• Raducanu lost 6-1, 6-2 to ninth seed Elena Rybakina in the US Open third round, her first Slam with Francisco Roig as full-time coach.
• Petchey says winning another major "won't be easy" unless Raducanu sharpens baseline redirection and improves serve accuracy against power players.
• He rejects any knee-jerk response to New York, describing the defeat as useful data at a very early stage of the Roig partnership.
• Ranked No. 34, Raducanu will return next week at the Korea Open on a wildcard after opting out of Great Britain's Billie Jean King Cup finals in China.
• This season includes quarter-final runs in Miami and at the HSBC Championships, a Wimbledon third round, and a Citi DC Open semi-final, with recent losses to Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova highlighting the ‘big hitter’ challenge.
