Q&A: What went wrong at US Open and what next for Emma Raducanu?
The 2021 champion at Flushing Meadows was beaten in three sets by 2020 Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin.
Emma Raducanu says she is going back to the drawing board after her first-round loss at the US Open.
Here, the PA agency answers questions on Raducanu’s situation.
What happened in New York?
Raducanu’s wait for a first US Open win since her memorable triumph in 2021 goes on after a first-round loss to Sofia Kenin. It was a tough draw for the Briton in a battle of former grand slam champions and it could have gone either way. But a loose service game from Raducanu midway through the first set ultimately proved costly.
What were her preparations for the tournament?
Who decides her schedule?
Will she change her approach?
The 21-year-old says she is going to manage her schedule “slightly differently” going forward, which presumably means entering more tournaments. She added: “I know when I have a lot of matches, just like every player, you feel really good, you feel like everything’s automatic. I can learn from it.”
When will she play next?
