Another solid win. The fact that Emma is now beating players ranked much higher without even hitting top gear says a lot.

Badosa WR62 (CH=2) or Samsonova WR13 (CH=12) next. Win or lose, Emma is still making steady progression back up the rankings, and with no points to drop before January I'm expecting her to get quite a bit higher.

Tiebreak and 2nd set was decent from Emma, though far from spectacular. Backhand down the line showed up when required. Rest of her game rarely seemed that convincing. Peyton hit a lot of impressive forehand winners and a few surprising errors. Both players were fired up.

 Its the win that counts. Game will come. Up to around 69 ish and leapfrogs Harriet. 

 They are level on points in live rankings, Emma would have been placed higher based on the next criteria which is points from grand slams, WTA1000s, Mandatory tournaments and WTA finals. 

(Since I last looked they must have recalculated the points and separated Emma and Harriet on points alone.)

 I think this will be the 11th tournament counting towards Emma's ranking, so she could add the points from another 7 events. If she collects points at the same rate for the full 18 events she could be inside the top 40 by the year end.

 Emma is live ranked 43 in the WTA race, which shows the sort of level she's at. Top 40 is certainly achievable on the basis of that.

Samsonova retires after losing the firstset, so Badosa goes through.

QF:- Emma Raducanu (GBR) WR89 (CH=10 in 2022) v Paula Badosa (ESP) WR62 (CH=2 in 2022)
They have played once before back in 2019. Emma won 1 & 2

 How did Badosa ever get a world ranking of 2 when in 18 grand slams she only has 1 quarterfinal?

Because a ranking is based on a 12 month period, and between April 2021 and April 2022 she amassed over 5,000 points, which was more than any other player at that time, bar Iga.

 I know, it's weird how certain players' points are so heavily weighted in one direction or the other

I seem to remember that there was that huge length of time where Woz was #1 in the world but could barely make the QFs in a Slam 

But that's certainly quite a stat for Badosa no

 If you look Swiatek has been poor in  recent Grand Slams. Apart from the French the last time she reached the semi final of a Grand Slam was her 2022 US Open win.  Anett Kontaveit was another who reached World no2  with her best in the Grand Slams one quarter final.

Much prefer Emma being aggressive and taking it to her opponent instead of this counterpunching version

Pretty weak performance, far too passive and reactive often tapping the ball right into Paulas forehand. Maybe she was nervous
