Emma Raducanu fights back tears after US Open defeat to Sofia Kenin

Emma Raducanu was tearful after being knocked out of the US Open in the first round on Tuesday, 27 August.

The 21-year-old stunned the world three years ago when she won the title in her third senior tournament, but had a first-round exit in 2022 and missed last year through injury.

Sofia Kenin handed out more misery with a 6-1 3-6 6-4 win on the Grandstand court this week.

Raducanu fought back tears as she admitted the loss made her feel sad.

“This is a tournament I really want to do well in,” she told reporters before vowing to “go back to the drawing board.”
