Emma Raducanu is out to prove the critics wrong this week after a split from her millionaire boyfriend.
The tennis star has taken part in several tournaments this year but all have ended in defeat which has led to her number of critics growing.
Raducanu was recently knocked out by Sofia Kenin at the US Open with a 6-1 3-6 6-4 loss on the Grandstand court.
The 21-year-old had already been knocked out of Wimbledon and a WTA 500 event in Washington all before failing to take part in the Cincinnati Open
In between this she also turned down the chance to play for Team GB at the Paris Olympics, prioritising the American tournaments.
Raducanu has also recently split from Carlo Agostinelli, a footballer who had a stint at Tottenham Hotspur before moving to the United States to turn out for Stanford University.
After reportedly beginning their relationship in May 2023 and being spotted on trips together, they confirmed their romance during Paris Fashion Week.
They have now decided to part ways as Raducanu unfollowed Agostinelli on social media earlier this summer.
After a rocky summer, Raducanu has now begun to find form at the Korean Open with a win against Peyton Stearns in the round of 32.
Today (Thursday, September 19) she takes on Yue Yuan in the round of 16 with the aim of advancing further and silencing her critics.
A win would put the young tennis player back on the right path as she looks to finally replicate her success of 2021.
