Emma Raducanu quickly brushes Janice Tjen in the show of US Open Force

On her return to Flushing Meadows this year, Emma Raducanu felt the full power of the tension and nerves that accompanied her determination to finally change the story of her career and to thrive in New York.

However, Raducanu has never been prepared for such challenges. She continues to show off the fruits of her recent work by putting together another devastating performance, so that the Janice Tjen 6-2 qualification was demolished to return to the third round of the US Open.

The challenge for Raducanu on Wednesday was to find out a talented but not -announced opponent who had few players in the tournament to look, let alone to compete against.

Again, the British No. 1 showed its best form since winning the title here in 2021 here and that trust grows with every victory. Another dominant show in Louis Armstrong Stadium was led by a supreme serving version of Raducanu, allowing her to step the baseline and dominate until the end.

This was invoiced as a deceptively difficult match-up against an opponent whose world ranking of No. 149 lies its form and quality. Although it was only six months older than Raducanu, the 23-year-old Tjen only became professional last June after he chose to follow the US College Route. From the lowest sport of the ITF circuit and receiving no joker signs, Tjen had compiled a record of 95-10 for the past 15 months.

Tjen’s playing style shows more than a passing resemblance to one of the most unique champions of the 21st century: Ash Barty. Tjen combines a powerful, Spinny Forehand in the same way with an annoying, varied backhand -paste and an willingness to push ahead to the net. She played a brilliant opening game to overthrow the 24th seed story Verdonika Kudermetova, her victory marked her as the first Indonesian player who won a Grand Slam-head staircase match in 22 years.

Just like in her devastating opening -round victory over Ena Shibahara, Raducanu burst into the game and produced a high level from the start. She opened by spectacularly serving well, ending the opening set with 76% of the firsts service, won 84% of those first -server points and shot five aces in her four service games.

Raducanu’s trust behind her serve threw her with the freedom to swing more freely on her foundations. She put the excellent Tjen Backhand-Plak under the ruthless pressure through the set with her Cross-Court Backhand, and hit the ball early and neatly while she had constantly established the Indonesian in her backhand angle.

The simple opening also inspired the most aggressive version of Raducanu, which forced itself even further in the basic line and rather took greater cuts of the ball in the point. She mumbled with her attack, who has no experience to compete against an opponent who plays at such a high level and pace.

In recent months, the British player has emphasized the importance of improving the quality of her shots and not dependent on her judicial feeling and Vechtgeest. The quality of the portion of Raducanu, the beauty of its foundations and the way in which she bullied a lower -ranked opponent from the top of the basic line from the beginning to finish, underlines her sequel.

However, a much larger barometer can wait because it will then be confronted with the winner of the second round match between Elena Rybakina, the ninth seed and 2022 Wimbledon Champion and a different qualification in Tereza Valentova.
