Today marks exactly a week since Emma Raducanu was sent crashing out of the US Open.
And the tennis star has since gone silent, with the 21-year-old facing a tidal wave of criticism over her schedule following her latest setback.
Prior to the tournament, Raducanu had played just one hard-court match. After controversially skipping the Paris Olympics, it was meant to be a decision that would pay off.
Yet that wasn’t the case. While the Briton performed well against Sofia Kenin, her American opponent prevailed in three sets to make the second round of the competition.
After Raducanu lost at Wimbledon earlier in the year, she took to social media to thank fans for their support.

She has since gone silent after this setback, however, with the 21-year-old continuing to digest the defeat.
Some critics have suggested Raducanu is too busy picking up sponsorship deals to legitimately care about tennis.
That is a step too far, though. Her emotional reaction to her US Open defeat proves she cares and is passionate about the game. She wants to succeed – and her failure to make it beyond the first round clearly devastated her as she addressed those in attendance at her post-match press conference.
