A range of injuries in the last four years, combined with mental loads of frenzied attention, means that Redukanu is now only looking at America as “happy places”.
Since arriving in New York at the end of last week, Redukanu has cut a Jovial Figure – especially while exiting with Carlos Alkraj in its mixed mixed doubles incident.
Feeling more comfort and careless than the court, how does she feel that she can fulfill her ability on it.
This was clear in a more direct win than Shibhara at the 130th position.
Opening the match with a fizing serve, was a strong statement of intentions from Redukanu and placed the stage for a major opening set, which he wrapped in 26 minutes.
While Redukanu was moving well and killing minimal unexpected errors, he was helped by a lack of quality from his opponent.
Shibhara, while playing in his second Grand Slam Main Draw, lost four of the seven break points, which, faced, Radukanu barely harassed his fast dangerous service.
