Emma Raducanu has rediscovered her competitive edge at the Miami Open after winning four successive matches, marking her best streak since her 2021 U.S. Open victory. Despite past struggles with form, the 22-year-old finds confidence under new surroundings and coach, as she advances to the WTA 1000 quarter-finals.

Emma Raducanu has rejuvenated her competitive spirit at the ongoing Miami Open, breaking a dry spell by winning four consecutive WTA main draw matches. This winning streak marks her most notable achievement since her triumph at the 2021 U.S. Open.

After experiencing a challenging period filled with form and fitness inconsistencies, Raducanu credited her newfound success to a revitalized desire to pursue every point. Her victory in the fourth round against former French Open semi-finalist Amanda Anisimova with a 6-1, 6-3 result highlights her progress.
