The 2022 Laureus World Sports Awards have announced the winners of the various awards. The most discussed winner is that Serbian King Djokovic, who won three Grand Slam men's singles titles last season, did not win best male athlete. Although Djokovic did not win the prize, the tennis event did not return empty-handed at this Lawrence Award. Last year, a black end, won the US Open women's singles title of The British rising star Emma. Radukanu won the Breakthrough of the Year award, and Chinese tennis star Li Na also congratulated Emma through video.
Raducannu's winning this award is well deserved. Her performance at the US Open last year was truly stunning, but the most controversial was her performance after winning the US Open. Raducannu has not had a particularly good record since winning the US Open, so many people have only recently paid attention to how many commercial endorsements she has received. This year has been a crucial year for Raducano and could even have a major impact on her future career.
Radukanu competed in the just-concluded WTA500 Stuttgart, where she lost in two sets to world Number One Swatek in the quarter-finals. This is the first time a Rising British star has competed in clay events, and if she can successfully compete in this year's French Open, it will be her first appearance in Roland Garros. The French Open will officially start next month, for Raducannu, who has never participated in this event before, there is actually no need to have too much pressure, but the outside world will still look forward to her French Open debut, what kind of performance will there be?
The first major breakthrough in Radukanu's career was at Wimbledon, and Radukanu, who played at Wimbledon in 2021 with a wild card, reached the round of sixteen in one fell swoop, which was also her first time to participate in the Grand Slam women's singles tournament. But a year later, Radukanu's identity has changed dramatically, from a fledgling young rookie with no competition experience to a Grand Slam women's singles champion. At the beginning of Wimbledon this year, as a local super popular star, Raducannu will definitely receive high attention from the media and the audience, which will also be a huge test for her psychological adjustment and ability to resist pressure.
This year's US Open Raducano will play as a defending Grand Slam champion for the first time. Most of her current points composition comes from last year's US Open, so for Raducannu there is a very heavy task of securing points at the US Open. In addition to striving to play well at the US Open, we must also strive to have a good enough performance before the US Open. If she can earn enough points before the US Open, it will greatly reduce the pressure on her to keep points at the US Open, otherwise if she does not play well in the US Open, her world ranking will fall sharply.
