MusaEmma Raducanu shocked the tennis world in 2021 when she won the US Open as a teenager, and now former tennis star Pam Shriver believes she might just do it again — and she’s got a pretty good reason why.
According to Shriver, what sets Raducanu apart is her comfort on the big stage. Not every young player can handle the pressure of a massive tournament like the US Open, but Raducanu has already proven she can. Winning a Grand Slam without dropping a set, as she did in 2021, doesn’t just happen by luck. It takes confidence, mental strength, and a real love for the moment — and Shriver believes that spark is still there.
Over the past couple of years, Raducanu has faced some tough times with injuries and changes to her team, but she hasn’t given up. In fact, she’s looking stronger and more focused than ever. Shriver pointed out that despite the setbacks, Raducanu still has the tools to go far — including a calm on-court presence and great timing on her shots.
What’s also exciting is that Raducanu has been getting more matches under her belt lately. She’s healthy, fit, and seems to be enjoying her tennis again. Shriver thinks that with the right mindset and a bit of momentum, Emma could go deep in the US Open draw. And once she starts winning, the confidence will only build from there.
Of course, the women’s game is full of strong contenders right now, but that’s exactly why Shriver’s comment stands out. She’s seen what Raducanu can do when she’s in the zone — and that makes her dangerous to any opponent.
Fans are already buzzing with hope and curiosity: Can Emma Raducanu repeat the magic in New York? With the support of the crowd, her proven ability on hard courts, and that fearless attitude she showed in 2021, it’s definitely possible.
In tennis, anything can happen — and Shriver believes Raducanu still has that champion spirit. Whether she lifts the trophy or not, one thing’s for sure: Emma will have a lot of eyes on her this summer, and if she catches fire, it’ll be one thrilling ride.
