Emma Raducanu already wrote her name in history after winning the 2021 US Open, becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam title at only 19 years old. However, since her magical run in New York, the British star has struggled with consistency. But the 2025 Miami Open could be the start of a new era as her latest win mirrors some of her stats from her major win.

Raducanu, now 22, has now won four consecutive WTA Tour main-draw matches for the second time in her career. The first was, precisely, at the US Open, in which she won seven straight (10 if including the qualifying).

Moreover, after defeating 17th seed Amanda Anisimova on Monday and No. 8 Emma Navarro, it is also the second time that Raducanu has two Top 20 players at the same event after the 2021 US Open. In that tournament, she defeated Belinda Bencic and Maria Sakkari.

This is also the first time that Raducanu will play a WTA 1000 quarter-final in her career. “I’ve come a long way in the last week,” she told Sky Sports. “I think since Indian Wells I wasn’t necessarily feeling great about my tennis, about everything, but this week, I have some really good people around who I trust, and who I have fun off the court as well.”

In that sense, Raducanu admitted that she feels best when she is able to express herself. “For me, who is just very expressive, and when I play my best, I definetely authentic, true to myself and creative. I feel when I am boxed in a regimented way, then I am not able to express myself in the same way. So, I am happy how I realized that this week, as well,” she said.

Her next rival is Jessica Pegula

In the next round, Raducanu will meet Jessica Pegula, who defeated Marta Kostyuk, 6-2, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals. The American star has reached the quarterfinals or better at this event in each of the last four years, including semifinal showings in 2022 and 2023.

Pegula and Raducanu have faced each other twice, with each claiming a victory on home soil. Pegula won in straight sets on Cincinnati’s hard courts in 2022, while Raducanu pulled off an upset on grass in Eastbourne last year.
