And she will always be the first qualifier ever to win a Grand Slam tournament.

Now she's had the chance to stop and think it may have caught up with her.
She's still very young and very inexperienced, and she will have to work out how to cope with a life totally different from the one she expected at this stage of her career. But I'm sure she will, she's got that difficult first slam out of the way and the pressure that comes with it.
But women's tennis now for many years is littered with players who have won 1 title and disappear - Most of us could not name 2 players currently ranked in the top 10 - I just checked and only knew Barty - Very little longevity in women's tennis these days, for whatever reason
Off topic to a degree but look at men's tennis - The big 3, Nadal, Rog and Novak - All have done more in the game after the age of 30 than anyone else - Borg, Lendl, Connors, McEnroe etc etc all just about retired before 30 - Granted the whole diet, fitness etc has changed today - But Rog, Nadal, Novak were all making a big impression as teenagers and winning big tittles in the early 20's - Where are the next generation, or indeed the generation over the last 10 years , of 18-22 year olds who should have put these guys to bed and taken over the mantle
I think Raducanu has a game a bit like Garbine Muguruca, in how she pushes her opponent from the baseline with a lot of power in their games.
For the latter, it seemed to have a huge impact on her knees, and a few surgeries later she's not the same player as she once was.
IMO I have a suspicion managing injuries is a massive part of tennis, as obvious as it might sound.
Personally as a non tennis fan I can only hope that she can find it, in her obviously good heart, to take the hem of her skirts up just a teeny, weeny, windy bit. Please Emma?
