Tennis World on MSNEmma Raducanu's tenure as top-ranked British female tennis player quickly endsEmma Raducanu's return to being the top-ranked British female tennis player didn't last long after dropping five spots on the updated WTA rankings list and finding herself ranked below Katie Boulter. On June 16th, Raducanu replaced Boulter as the British No. 1 - that marked the 22-year-old achieving the feat for the first time in two years.
The general consensus is it is all to do with rhythm and comfort. Flavio Cobolli said at Wimbledon was "normal" for players to keep tennis balls in their shorts, adding it felt more "comfortable".

Raducanu beat Mingge Xu and Marketa Vondrousova by the same scoreline – 6-3 6-3 – en route to her clash with the world No. 1, but the British hopeful fell short and ultimately has fallen down the WTA rankings as a result.
