'Jack is in a completely different place' - Jamie Murray on if Emma Raducanu can elevate her game like her ATP compatriot

After a spirited showing at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, British tennis star Emma Raducanu could find her way back to contending for titles, according to compatriot and doubles specialist, Jamie Murray.

Raducanu burst into the limelight after winning her maiden Grand Slam title at the 2021 US Open, entering the main draw as a qualifier. However, the 22-year old has seen her ranking and form drop significantly, as she's dealt with poor results precipitated by multiple coaching changes and injuries.

Murray ponders whether Raducanu can rise back to the top 

Raducanu defeated former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in the opening round at this year's Wimbledon event, but fell to eventual semifinalist Aryna Sabalenka in the third round. The former World No.10 lost her spot as Britain's top-ranked WTA player, and Murray speculated on if she can return to her winnings ways and be considered a contender, like ATP World No.5 and countryman Jack Draper.

"She actually got a good draw, playing a young British girl (Mimi Xu) in the first match," said Murray in an interview with The Mirror. “But if you’re unseeded then you’re going to have to play top players pretty early in the event. I would say the third round is a good result, all things considered. She had a competitive match with Sabalenka.
"Hopefully she goes and has a good summer in America. But it’s not like Jack – he was number four in the world [at Wimbledon]. He’s putting results together all the time, he’s proven that he’s world-class and a top player.

"That’s miles away from being at the level that Jack is at. Of course she had an unbelievable result at the US Open. But she obviously needs to win a lot more matches to be talked about as a contender for these tournaments.
"But of course, the hype is obviously massive based on her story of winning the US Open a few years ago. Not to talk bad about Emma, but Jack is in a completely different place in his career than where she is."

Raducanu will head over to North America as she prepares for the upcoming US Open. The British star has few points to defend, after calling an end to her season following a quarterfinal appearance at last year's DC Open.
