I suspect a lot of Raducanu's problems are caused by what goes on between her ears.
She seems to come up with lots of different excuses. Not sure if it's simply because she gets more media exposure, but her excuses seem more apparent and wide ranging than others, to me.
If she or one of her team can place more emphasis upon the mental side you might see a top player. Otherwise she'll continue to drift within that middle order of the rankings, which comprise mainly of inconsistent and journeyman type players.
Leaving aside her mental and physical issues I don't see anything in Raducanu's game that suggests she's ever going to challenge at the top level. There's not a single shot in her locker that I'd rank as an elite weapon and without that she's always going to struggle.
She's not a top 10 player. I don't think anyone thinks she is or ever will be. But tennis isn't just about the top 10. Being top 40 is not struggling though

I think a lot of the people having a dig at Raducanu would struggle to be top 40 in the world at anything, except perhaps being a whiny little fecker.

not that hyped up really. Far more over-reaction to her being over-hyped than actually being over-hyped. By far the majority of people who are rational and objective are unsurprising rational, realistic and objective

Why do you troll her and say she isn't very good and should try a different sport? Fair, objective comment is fine but biased, ignorant trolling is not.
I don't think Charlton should give up because they aren't in the top 26 teams in the world, or indeed in the country

who me?
I think the only criticism I have given was probably a year ago saying that she needs to learn the difference between being injured, and playing with discomfort - that was when there was a spate of withdrawals.
Tarvet studies at the University of San Diego and has developed his game in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) system. Under NCAA rules, players are restricted in how much they can claim from professional tournaments. He's allowed $10,000 (£7,290) in profit every year, as well as any expenses incurred during the events.

Think he might have to drop college!
Mad that. He's earned over 100k now hasn't he?
Might be wrong but think it's £99k just for losing his next match but, seemingly, won't get that. Unless he has some really massive "expenses" to offset that!

He said last week he'll be completing his 4th year at USD in respect for the efforts and resources they put into him. He may not be collecting the tournament prize money but is he proscribed sponsorship revenue?

I don't know whether sponsorship is defined as "profit" but he was definitely not happy about not being allowed prize money.

Tarvet two sets and a break up - the winner of that match likely plays Alcaraz next.
She's certainly very calm

Now inside the top 400 in the rankings having previously been at 733.
Norrie wins the first set over Bautista Agut.
Fery wins the first set over 20th seed Popyrin.
Brits not doing too bad so far!
