Raducanu, ranked 150th in the world, did not have the most auspicious of starts, conceding the first two games in set 1 to Rogers. However, the 18-year-old flicked a switch and won 11 games on the bounce to get on course for a dominating win. She will now face off against Swiss ace and Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Belinda Bencic in the quarter-finals.
Speaking after her win, Raducanu said, “It feels absolutely amazing to be here at the US Open … I’m so happy to have come through and overcome some of the nerves at the beginning”.

As the only American left in the women’s draw, Rogers can expect enthusiastic backing throughout the contest, though she admitted she would have to do some “scouting” on her opponent, who was an unknown quantity before Wimbledon. The American enjoys a 14:9 win-loss record in 2021 hardcourt events.
Shelby Rogers, on the other hand, stunned the World No.1 Ash Barty in her pursuit of the US Open title. She had earlier defeated the likes of Sorana Cirstea and Madison Brengle. The 28-year-old has previously made it to the Quarterfinals of the 2020 US Open.
“She’s fearless, she’s playing very well and she’s inspired,” said Rogers, who earned the biggest win of her career by beating Barty. “It’s going to be a battle, I’m ready for it.”
