Emma Raducanu was knocked out in opening round of the US Open by Sofia Kenin in a battle of former Grand Slam champions on Tuesday night in New York.
Raducanu has struggled to recapture the magic of her fairy-tale run at Flushing Meadows three years ago when she became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam. And American Kenin sent Raducanu packing with a 6-1 3-6 6-4 victory in front of a sparse crowd on Grandstand.
Having played just one tournament since Wimbledon and skipping the Olympics to focus on her preparation for the US Open, Raducanu will be desperately disappointed to fall at the first hurdle and questions remain over the direction of her career. In her defence, it was a tough draw for Raducanu against the former world No 4, who showed some of her best form. Carlos Alcaraz was given a scare by Australian qualifier Li Tu before going on to seal a 6-2 4-6 6-3 6-1 victory.
