The impact of Raducanu’s surgery on her WTA Tour ranking

Raducanu’s rise in the WTA Tour ranking was remarkable after her victory at the US Open in 2021. However, her form has been inconsistent since then, leading to some critics questioning the legitimacy of her US Open win. Even before the announcement of her surgery, she had already dropped out of the top 100 rankings. It is worth mentioning that she had a disappointing performance at the Australian Open earlier in 2023, exiting the tournament in the second round. Throughout the year, her performances have not lived up to the expectations of fans worldwide.
