British tennis player Emma Radukan will lose if she loses to Frenchwoman Alize Cornet in the first round.
The first round at the US Open 2022 ended with a sensation. Last year’s tournament champion, Emma Radukanu from the UK, lost at the very beginning.
The Briton was unable to overcome the resistance of experienced Frenchwoman Alize Cornet, losing in 100 minutes in two sets with the same score of 3:6.
This failure will cost the athlete dearly. Due to the fact that Radukanu was unable to defend the points obtained last year, he will immediately lose 70 places in the next ranking.
At the same time, the Cornet has a double joy. In addition to defeating one of the favorites, the Frenchwoman set a unique victory. Only one entry on the court allowed him to set the record for the number of Grand Slam tournaments played consecutively in the main draw.
Since 2007, Cornet has participated in all 63 TBSH without exception! However, he only made it to the quarterfinals once.
