Rybakina Dominates Raducanu Advances US Open Fourth Round

Elena Rybakina advanced to the fourth round of the US Open 2025 with a dominant straight-sets victory over 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu, winning 6-1, 6-2 in roughly an hour. This marks Rybakina's first time reaching the US Open fourth round in her seventh appearance and completes her second-week appearances at all four Grand Slams. Rybakina has now conceded only four games to Raducanu in their two meetings combined, underscoring her strong form coming into the tournament after consecutive semifinal runs in other major events. Raducanu, despite encouragement from her new coach Francisco Roig, struggled to maintain momentum and was unable to challenge Rybakina’s pressure and serve. Rybakina will next face either No. 7 seed Jasmine Paolini or former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova. The match highlighted Rybakina’s consistency and health throughout the 2025 season, while Raducanu aims to regroup after this setback.
