Despite an early exit in Singapore, Emma Raducanu feels she actually played better than at the Australian Open.

Emma Raducanu has questionably insisted she played better at the Singapore Open than she did during the recent Australian Open, despite crashing out of the tournament in the first round. The 22-year-old went into the clash hoping to secure a first title since her US Open triumph back in 2021.

Emma Raducanu refused to be too downcast after suffering an opening round exit at the Singapore Open when the British seventh seed lost 5-7 7-5 7-5 to the 101st-ranked Cristina Bucsa. Raducanu progressed to the third round of the recently concluded Australian Open for the first time in her career before losing to five-times Grand Slam champion and Polish second-seed Iga Swiatek in straight sets.
