Kim Clijsters. The 19-year-old Raducanu has endured a difficult first full year on Tour with injuries and poor form limiting her match wins, but Clijsters says no one should be concerned.

Since its maiden tournament in 1881, the US Open has not been short of its iconic moments.
NEW YORK — Serena Williams' first opponent at what is expected to be the last tournament of her career, the US Open, will be Danka Kovinic.
The then 18-year-old rocketed to tennis stardom a year ago when he beat third-seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round on his way to becoming the youngest man to reach the quarter-final at Flushing Meadows. He retired in the quarters against young Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime but had already earned his reputation as one of the fiercest competitors among tennis's next generation.
Nadal returned to the tour only last week at the Cincinnati Open, having not played a competitive match since pulling out of his Wimbledon semi-final against Nick Kyrgios due to an abdominal injury in early July.

The 24-year-old Olympic champion javelin thrower has recovered from the "minor" groin strain injury he had suffered while winning a historic silver medal during the World Championships in Eugene, USA, last month. A top-three finish here will ensure Chopra a berth in the Diamond League Finals in Zurich on September 7 and 8 as he is at fourth spot in the standings with seven points. He had finished second in the Stockholm leg -- his first-ever podium -- on June 30.
New York crowds have seen all sides of Nick Kyrgios barring his best one at the US Open but fans may hope for more than a cranky cameo from the Australian firebrand this year. By the time the final Grand Slam of the calendar rolls around, Kyrgios is usually tired, jaded and battling homesickness, which makes an early exit from Flushing Meadows seem more of a relief than disappointment. Things may be different this year, though, as Kyrgios rounds off the most productive season of his rollercoaster career.
NEW YORK: Novak Djokovic will not play in the US Open, as expected, because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19 and thus is not allowed to travel to the United States.
