Emma Raducanu Routed by Amanda Anisimova in 52 Minutes at Indian Wells

Raducanu says the top players’ firepower exposes a gap she must close.

Overview

  • Anisimova, the world No 6, beat Raducanu 6-1, 6-1 in the third round, with the match lasting just 52 minutes.
  • Raducanu won 21 of 74 points and hit only two winners to Anisimova’s 21, struggling to hold serve or create pressure on return.
  • She acknowledged she has "a long way to go," citing an "extra 10 miles an hour" on top opponents’ serves and a need to be more aggressive and varied.
  • Raducanu is working with former coach Mark Petchey on a temporary basis, though his Tennis Channel duties may limit contact before the Miami Open.
  • She collected 55 ranking points from Indian Wells and is likely to slip a few places, with Miami next where she has points to defend from last year’s quarter-final run.
