Overview

• Raducanu dropped to 38th in the live WTA rankings after a 6-2, 6-1 loss to Amanda Anisimova in the Canadian Open third round.
• Occupying a position outside the top 32 means she would enter the US Open without a seeded draw, increasing the risk of facing top opponents early.
• With no ranking points to defend, she must reach at least the round of 16 in Cincinnati and can earn up to 215 points with a quarter-final run in a WTA 1000 event.
• A top-32 seed would shield her from the highest-ranked players in the opening rounds at Flushing Meadows.
• She will partner Carlos Alcaraz in mixed doubles and has been urged by Martina Navratilova to commit to a long-term coach for greater stability.
