Just over an hour later, she was receiving a standing ovation after blitzing past home favourite Shelby Rogers to reach her maiden Grand Slam quarter-final, prompting British player Naomi Broady to say this is the time to be excited."I was watching my name and face on the big boards at the back of the court and I couldn't believe it was me," Raducanu told BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller.
"Her thoughts were: hold on a minute, if I'm doing really well in singles and I'm into the second week, I might be too tired with the mixed doubles. After turning professional in 2018, she impressed those in the know in British tennis, with Anne Keothavong calling her up to the Fed Cup team in 2020. A week later she was in Chicago for a Challenger event, reaching the final, where she lost to world number 77 Clara Tauson in three sets.
