Why Emma Raducanu Will Win Wimbledon 2022
Emma Raducanu thrilled the Wimbledon crowd in her opening round win, showing why she is one of the players to watch at the All England Club. The No. 11-ranked women’s singles player in the world, Raducanu turned down several sponsorship opportunities to focus on tennis and it has paid off.
While her current ranking represents a career-best mark, she’s coming off of a pair of early exits at the Australian Open and French Open. However, her game started to take off after making it to the Round of 16 at Wimbledon last year. After that performance, she went on to win the 2021 US Open and the rest is history.
With Raducanu ready to refocus and take her game to the next level, look for her to make another deep run at Wimbledon in 2022.
