Emma Raducanu Begins US Open Campaign Against Sofia Kenin

Emma Raducanu has officially commenced her campaign at the US Open, facing off against former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin. This match marks a significant moment for Raducanu, who won the tournament in 2021, as she looks to regain her form following a challenging period marked by injuries and inconsistent results.

Entering the tournament, Raducanu expressed a renewed sense of confidence, stating, ‘I’ve been playing a lot freer in the last month. There’s been a lot of passion and I’ve been feisty.’ Her recent performances have shown signs of improvement, but the competition ahead represents a formidable challenge.

Kenin, who is also navigating her own struggles since winning her major title in 2020, is known for her competitive spirit, and she has been delivering hard-hitting shots throughout their encounter. Raducanu started strong but faced several setbacks, including unforced errors that provided openings for Kenin.
