The comment section is so different from what it was like two months ago, but Emma is still Emma. This is still going to be a tough season for her, handling all the pressure, expectations, and often nonsense hatred in her FIRST ever full season on tour. It’s really staggering to see how many nasty comments were there when Emma didn’t win. Keep smiling Emma. Wonderful match today, hope you going to win the next one. One at a time!
Agree, i think there's jealousy over her who comes out of nowhere and wins US Open and becomes millionaire thanks to her sponsors. She doesn't harms to anyone, let her live her life. PS: i'm not simp and fan 🙃
Well I don’t think Emma has a real rival on tour yet. It’s just toxic people who have achieved nothing in life trying to bring everyone they see down to their level, no matter who that is. They are not real tennis fans.
@@黃日恆-l1n Not a rivalry proper on court yet but players who are similar age like Swiatek, Fernandez and Gauff. Pretty sure some fans of Swiatek and Fernandez have been bitter towards Emma.
It's because she doesn't care, which is exactly how she went into the US open. She has never played professionally on clay before, and it's a very different surface to hard, so there are no expectations. With no expectations she enjoys her tennis more, relaxes and expresses herself on-court. Wouldn't be surprised if she wins this.
@ferzy09 Kostyuk is a really good young player, who has often got the better of Emma in the past. Emma thrashed her today. The highlights don't do it justice.
@ferzy09 For a novice player like Emma, seeded or unseeded opponent does not matter. Experience she lacks it as compared to most of the girls in WTA so to win a match or two matters a lot to a teenager who is still learning a lot from the tour.
@@footy2362 i just think its insane how much of a difference it made for her. She had horrible games for like half a year. After winning the freaking us open. Made no sense. I get it now though 😅
Difference is few months ago, there was no war in Ukraine. Ya’ll don’t know what’s going on in her training/mind right now. Better not use the word revenge.
Raducanu is actually a better player now than when she won the US Open: she is noticeably stronger; her serve is much better; her forehand has improved tremendously; AND she has added a very useful dropshot to her armoury that was non-existent in New York. In addition, she is far more tactically astute than she was at the US Open because she is an amazingly fast learner. She is going to get a LOT better!!!!
I've been saying this all along. She just needs matches to get into the swing of things. People forget that 3 of the 4 three setters which she lost she was serving for & within points of winning. You get that from experience. Maybe those loses will help her since there'd have been lessons to learn from each loss and we know she's a quick learner.
That was probably the best she played since US Open. And now she's the second highest seed left in the tournament. If she can continue this form, she has a good chance of even winning the event.
What a sweet revenge for that devastating defeat to Marta Kosyuk by Emma Raducanu. This time she was prepared and ready for Marta's game and caught her of guard. Superb tactical thinking and amazing strategy execution, by Emma Raducanu. She really improved her game. Now Emma Raducanu is truly becoming great tennis player. She truly outplayed Marta Kosyuk. She was insanely good in this match. I hope that she can keep it up and win more matches and tournaments. Go Emma Raducanu
@@turnerturnerturner Stop sprouting bullshit and hating on Ukraine and Marta Kosyuk. You simply are sore, because Marta Kostyuk and Emma Raducanu both are much more successful, richer and more famous than you. Go cry in the corner. Go cry me a river. Emma Raducanu simply was prepared for Marta Kostyuk's game. She simply outplayed her.
@@lawrence_cali Stop whining, you delusional loser. Marta Kosyuk lost, because Emma Raducanu was prepared for her game. And stop making things up, you idiot. RUclips isn't the place for stupid haters like you.
This is the kind of tennis we know Raducanu can be....aggressive, hitting behind players, going for the open court - just going for her shots! Love to see it!
Seems like she might be on the road to the top 3, or better. Shes playing extremely well.... couldnt be any happier than that. If she get third round done, then I might dare but she might have huge chance for the big win.....
Emma's back to her US Open winning form! That was a devastating display of tennis from Emma and poor Kostyuk didn't stand a chance. Tougher challenges await Emma next but win or lose I think we can safely say that we are looking at a future French Open champion here.
HAAHAHAH way too early, she still is not able to win any top 10 player, neither shw won anytime xd That only shows how bad last US Open was, so no idea how you came up with text "future French Open champion" there are plenty of better players
5 matches on clay and you are already calling her a RG champion 😂, that’s how false expectations are created, she played good but Kostyuk is not in a good place mentally and played poorly, and for you that’s a devastating display of tennis… ok hold your horses
@@dandresaldi OK,let's wait and see shall we? Kostyuk played badly because she wasn't allowed to play her normal game by Emma. Did you not watch the whole match then? I did and it was definitely the form that saw her clinched the US Open title.
@@eyeofthetiger6002 she played good, I’m not saying she’s didn’t, but I don’t think Kostyuk can be focused completely in matches because of the situation. Emma is still looking for her first top 10 win while for example Andreescu already had the first of the year and in 2019 she defeated top 10s many times. I love Emma but I won’t go that crazy for her because she defeated Kostyuk comfortably. Kalinina should be a much better test
Emma it not hitting the ball one dimensionally flat anymore. She learnt from the Iga match and has added spin to her forehand. She's also learnt from Vondrusova beating by adding dropshots, something she never did before. She really learns from her defeats
She has added more variety to her game. Is definitely learning. Has been thrown to the lions on the WTA tour and is now starting to improve and hopefully retain her form.
i am happy she won this tennis match.i love her so much.i would love to watch and meet her in person.emma raducanu is a wonderful player.i really admire her.i like how she hits the ball,so fast and quick.emma is such a tennis sensation.she really is.this is why i love watching her play.i am now a huge emma raducanu fan.
Can remember being at the tennis club near Bromley seeing Emma at around 11-12 years old and even then everyone there spoke of her pure potential. Her and her family live only 3 short roads away from us.
I said it in her last match (and last tournament) and it continues here. She's playing Hingis-like tennis, moving the ball around, mixing up deep shots with short ones, then going for the kill. And she's moving the best she's moved since the USO.
I mean Marta could’ve played better, but damn, Emma just looked clear in her mind and played with the same kind of instinct the showed in the USO 2021!
Marta Kostyuk could not show her best tennis because Emma played very well today and she looks back to a better form. She moves better, slides better, hits better, tries a better variety of shots. It is very encouraging. Keep improving Emma!
People writing off a 19 year old a matter of months after winning her first slam (and only months before that playing her first ever WTA level match) were always ridiculous and reactionary. They probably don't even watch tennis that much.
she is a one grand slam wonder and she will lose in the next round guaranteed with an excuse that she is injured. She should quit tennis and do modelling instead because that all she is good for.
So happy cus she knows R3 in any Tournament 1st year on Tour aged 19 is great progress regardless of Grand Slam win/unreal media expectations. She's moving forward now. Emmas' best form since US Open! You can see shes feels it too. On clay too! Arguably her least best surface so far.❤️
the thing is with clay it is not a surface that emma has played much on and it could become a great surface for her i feel with even more experience....i think she is going to be a force on all surfaces and looking forward to see her play on grass again.
@ferzy09 Raducanu is playing her first full year on tour, and the two tournaments she has gone beyond the second round. She also went beyond the first round at the AO. This is as well as reaching Wimbledon 4th round and winning the US Open at just 18
This was actually a really important match. Kostyuk was a bête noir from juniors and wiped the floor with Emma the last match. This crushing win will really help her confidence. I sense relief too that the collaboration with Torban Beltz is over. Something wasn't right there.
I agree with all you wrote. I feel once a tournament starts, her physio becomes far more important than her coach. During Wimbledon and the US Open it was her physio, not her coach, that she handed her mobile to. Maybe Beltz is the kind of coach wants to give advice during tournaments, maybe?
I'm pretty sure Torben was pushing Emma to play more defensively and use a kick serve, which she didn't like and was leading to her poorer results. She just seems more relaxed and comfortable now.
Emma was the world NO 1 today, one of the most devastatingly brilliant all round performances I have ever witnessed from any female tennis player, I am so excited to see what Emma can achieve we know she can be the best, what talent, superb Emma Superb.
Great match but world number 1 no… not yet I think the courts here play a bit loopy her use of the high ball been great. Thinks about whichever player adapts best some lopsided scores. My money is on Halep for this Title.
Im quite surprised at Emma, her strikes are powerful and her serves are strong, this is Emma during US open.. I hope you continue to play tremendously and win this title.. Congratulations
Emma is getting better and better, to see her play like that on clay speaks volumes. good inside out forehand, the backhand is there, good serve....... i think she can win the French..
She was never that far off with her speed and power in most of her matches this year, but mentally, after winning 11 of the last 12 games in her previous match, and with the memory of the pasting Marta gave her 6 months ago, she certainly looked much sharper. The girls are close in age, but Marta has usually been the better player when they played in the past, so Emma chose to be aggressive from the start. Without a coach she was totally responsible for this strategy. Much has been said about Emma's frequent changes of coach, but her father has always decided who would coach Emma, and he has a rather ruthless opinion of coaches. He hires them, drains them of all their knowledge, and then looks for another. This week she coach free, but she still has her physio to keep her fit (and to hold her phone 🙂) and she has others to support her. During tournaments 'she' doesn't need a coach! She has a great analytical mind, she just needed the experience of playing week in week out at WTA level. The foot blisters and the hand blisters are signs that she's been working really hard in training, and she's had some really long matches. Plus a bout of Covid didn't help. But now she's both physically and mentally tougher. I think the longer she progresses at Madrid, the better she'll get. At Wimbledon she played freely. But she was only there by virtue of her being a promising British player. Sure that's why wild cards are granted. But she and her team knew she'd have to qualify for the US Open, so they planned how she might qualify. Get her to the States weeks before both to gain experience and acclimatise, and then see what happened. What happened surprised everyone, including Emma. Her expectations changed during the Championship. She'd qualified, she'd 'earned' the right to compete. So she competed, and she won. I think she handled what followed as best as anyone could have. I just don't understand her critics. It's near obligatory that the winner of the US Open attends the Met Gala, but who 'chooses' to visit the US Stock Exchange? Emma did, and she had fun 🙂 She seems to being enjoying her experience on clay, but never doubt that her ultimate goal is to win Wimbledon. No championship would mean more to her.
Against Sorribes Tormo she was amazing there though, So much controlled aggression and precision, ST couldn’t do anything. Kostyuk on her day is probably better though than ST and Emma dominated.
any real tennis follower knew once all the hype around grand slam win died down , Emma would find tour life difficult as she new to it. its demanding fast pace and frantic. the good thing on her side is their is a real player in her. once she finds a coach who can get best out of her and she starts to adapt to the physical demands of tours , i have no doubt that she will be challenging if not winning grand slams in the future
The win by Emma was hard fought, despite the score, and shows how she learns from previous defeats. I’m intrigued how she will fare in the next round. 🙌🙌💪🎾🐬
Yes! Towards the end she completely broke Kostyuk physically, mentally emotionally! Total domination! Look at the sheer power of Emma's shots! If you see Emma's strength training it is just scary!!
Emma was superb and the serve is on fire-emmazing and i think clay will be a great surface for her and with even more experience she will only improve in adjusting to clay court tennis.
I'm still wondering about the toenails . “I have no toenails,” said Raducanu, laughing, after the draw ceremony. “Just my foot, my shoes, they’ve just been sliding around a lot.” Surely there must be some pain , otherwise what are the purpose of toenails .
Conditions (altitude) in Madrid do tend to favour the big hitting of Emma so wouldn’t be surprised to see a deep run! Good to see the care free tennis back 💪🏻
Yussss! Some of the drop shots were a little bit.. quirky 😄 others were excellent though. Learning as she goes - great to see. She seems happy so I doubt there are physical issues this time round too. Fingers crossed 🤞
After her defeat in Stuttgart from Iga, Emma do ante up her clay court skill and physicality. Too bad there won't be a rematch even if Emma do advances to the final.
Exactly. Give her a year to work out her game as a pro. Everyone knows she's incredibly talented, but you can see her game changing with every match as she works things out.
We all know the inexperienced players like Raducanu need to to find there game against the best in the world her next match with kalinina a tough one she just blasted Muguruza no.7 off the court ....
If Emma can make it to the semi this tournament, I think she may have a chance to win the FO this year. It's flawless tennis in these highlights, except for those drop shots.
This girl obviously got the talent . She just need to learn the joy of playing tennis again without all the pressure on her , and she will perform welll again
Yes! Towards the end she completely broke Kostyuk physically, mentally emotionally! Total domination! Look at the sheer power of Emma's shots! If you see Emma's strength training it is just scary!!
Glad to see Emma playing really well again. She's always had the talent. Just needs more time to grow and learn. Hope she reaches the quarterfinal.
just needed to fire that coach 💪
@@omarmonoruiz Well, since she's young and still learning, having a coach would be ideal. She just needs to find the right one that works for her.

She seems to being enjoying her experience on clay, but never doubt that her ultimate goal is to win Wimbledon. No championship would mean more to her.
THE SUN IS SHINING FOR EMMA ONCE AGAIN STEPHEN.
Woah she hit a 195khm/121mph serve there at 1:25.
Wow good catch, isn’t that over 10mph faster than her usual ‘fastest’ serve?
@@ReTracer She hit 179khm/111mph 2 points before that one as well. I think 177khm/110mph has been her biggest so far in her career.
Really great win for Emma! Congrats from Canada.
This is literally better than any of her peak matches in USO. Sooo much control . and her serveeeee
Against Sorribes Tormo she was amazing there though, So much controlled aggression and precision, ST couldn’t do anything. Kostyuk on her day is probably better though than ST and Emma dominated.
What a performance! She played very solid.
Her service power has improved. And that has really improved her game.
Emma, congratulations on a dominating victory! Well done.
Now who says she is just top 100 quality... Definitely she is going to be the ome of the best of this gen of players...
Flawless performance 👏🏽
So happy for you, Emma, keep going and I want to see you at least in the final....
ONE THING FOR SURE I DOUBT THAT EMMA WILL EVER END UP ON THE DOLE.

We'll see....
any real tennis follower knew once all the hype around grand slam win died down , Emma would find tour life difficult as she new to it. its demanding fast pace and frantic. the good thing on her side is their is a real player in her. once she finds a coach who can get best out of her and she starts to adapt to the physical demands of tours , i have no doubt that she will be challenging if not winning grand slams in the future
Keep going Emma!! We are all rooting for you!! 😁😁😁
Is Emma grunting. Never seen before.😃
Mildly, but she always has. Depends on the acoustics of the venue on how loud it seems.
Yes. It's kinda "I'm dying, suffocating" grunt.
4:25 is a nice combo
Emma played beautiful tennis n it's delightful to watch when she is on full flown.
Great to see Raducanu playing so well again at last.
she played like as free as a BYRD.
Fantastic performance!
The win by Emma was hard fought, despite the score, and shows how she learns from previous defeats. I’m intrigued how she will fare in the next round. 🙌🙌💪🎾🐬
keep going emma.. keep enjoying tennis you love, and keep fighting..
result is a bonus!
Yes! Towards the end she completely broke Kostyuk physically, mentally emotionally! Total domination! Look at the sheer power of Emma's shots! If you see Emma's strength training it is just scary!!
Y’all 195kph/121mph serve?! I know it was 1 serve but that’s still scary potential for someone who’s just started tbh.
Her 2nd serve is really good too, doesn’t have a big dip in speed from 1st to 2nd.
Emma is now back on business! best wishes for her!
Hope Emma can at least make quarters or semis in these masters 1000 series. That will really consolidate her ranking.
Saw her train today in Madrid!!! Getting better all the time
GREAT, which court is she playing at tomorrow.
@@andilencube7217 I think on court 2! Arantcha Sanchez arena!!
@@saulmadrileno8529 Manolo Santana stadium it looks like she’s playing on for the first time.
Emma was superb and the serve is on fire-emmazing and i think clay will be a great surface for her and with even more experience she will only improve in adjusting to clay court tennis.
Don’t forget she also plays well on grass and on the fast hard courts like the US Open. Looks like she’ll be a factor on all surfaces going forward.
@@kenzone totally agree and i am so impressed how well she is playing on clay having really so little experience on the surface.
She hit a 121mph serve too at 1:26.
Happy for you beautiful Emma....Keep Winning ....
Emma played very well today and her forehand was on fire.
Anyone would think Kostyuk had won judging from these highlights.
Said exactly the same watching them
Ikr, it was mostly about Kostyuk earning a point, but then the next scene would show Emma having a higher score😂
Emma plays incredibly in this match. She is truly UK'S crown gem.
Sharp shots with nice smiles .... 😍
Madrid full of top players, we"LL really see where Emma is now injury free and on great form again.❤️
I'm still wondering about the toenails . “I have no toenails,” said Raducanu, laughing, after the draw ceremony. “Just my foot, my shoes, they’ve just been sliding around a lot.”
Surely there must be some pain , otherwise what are the purpose of toenails .
Amazing play, Emma! ❤️❤️
There is the player I saw win the U.S. Open. Well done Emma.
If Emma Raducanu wins Roland Garros French Open clay court and Wimbledon then she shows versatility and adaptability.
Yeah yeah let's just pretend that iga Swiatek isn't having the best season of her life
And didn't literally win 4 masters in a row
Who said anything about Swiatek? Weird comment.
If Emma can win the French Open and Wimbledon next, she'll be the world #1 and the world is at her feet! :)
That was a clinical display. Well done Emma. Keep your chin up though, Marta. Better times will come
Conditions (altitude) in Madrid do tend to favour the big hitting of Emma so wouldn’t be surprised to see a deep run! Good to see the care free tennis back 💪🏻
Big hitting from Emma and work rate, Kostyuk didn’t seem to want to go into rallies with Emma and her big shots weren’t coming off.
I have no doubt about Emma talent she just need a time to develop she prove some hater wrong that she can play on clay.
shes a top 5 contender for RG in this form.
Powerful Play
Thats the way Emma! Keep going...watching from philippines. Beauty and talent.
Keep rolling Emma, love you champ!
Emma is going in an upward direction again but this time the climb is well structured she has patience skill and amazing tough mental fortitude
Yussss! Some of the drop shots were a little bit.. quirky 😄 others were excellent though. Learning as she goes - great to see. She seems happy so I doubt there are physical issues this time round too. Fingers crossed 🤞
The drop shots were fine but if she came to the net she could’ve replied to the counter drop shots. She can tune that.
It's worth the entrance fee just for that smile. Haters will hate.
she has the best smile of anyone i have seen in sport.....
Emma Raducanu is good. And she’s got her groove back. Will be difficult to beat in Madrid…and at Roland Garros.
Thank you WTA for the highlights ! Please telecast your matches in India.
Congrat Emma you are beautiful player and Sweet, Success to Win!!!🤗😘
would LOVE to see emma win it all, come on EMMA!
SO WOULD I TIN TIN THAT WOULD BE GOLD GOLD...........
Service was awesome. Congrats 👍🏽
After her defeat in Stuttgart from Iga, Emma do ante up her clay court skill and physicality. Too bad there won't be a rematch even if Emma do advances to the final.
Amazing performance, Emma!Emma played remarkably well in the match💥🎾So proud of her🧡
Quiza ha sido el mejor tenis que le he visto a Raducanu desde el US Open 2021.
These comments I swear 😂. Why do people try to predict a player's entire career solely based on one really good or bad match is completely beyond me.
people are desperate for a consistent successful tennis player so they do this every damn time lmfao😭
Exactly. Give her a year to work out her game as a pro. Everyone knows she's incredibly talented, but you can see her game changing with every match as she works things out.
We all know the inexperienced players like Raducanu need to to find there game against the best in the world her next match with kalinina a tough one she just blasted Muguruza no.7 off the court ....
If Emma can make it to the semi this tournament, I think she may have a chance to win the FO this year. It's flawless tennis in these highlights, except for those drop shots.
eric you are not WRONG.
i hope you are not WONG......
seeing the emma's style of play, I see a great resemblance to the game Igi świątek
This girl obviously got the talent . She just need to learn the joy of playing tennis again without all the pressure on her , and she will perform welll again
French open is always so open as well, anyone can win. Emma might be a dark horse for the FO
Thank you for the video.
So happy for Emma.
Yes! Towards the end she completely broke Kostyuk physically, mentally emotionally! Total domination! Look at the sheer power of Emma's shots! If you see Emma's strength training it is just scary!!
Decent performance of Emma. So few UErrors.
Quite good serving… like with 1GA🇵🇱jazda🇵🇱 in Porsche Stuttgart.
Good luck Emma
Well played by Emma Raducanu in this match.. Alhamdullilah Syukur... Happy Eid Mubarak at May.2022...
I understand how much emma has been under pressure.
I hope she can play good tennis when she can concentrate.
Let's go, Emma.
