Emma Raducanu has rightly become the face of British tennis since her US Open fairytale last year – and the time has finally come for her to defend her crown.
The British teenager needed to be consoled by coach Dmitry Tursunov during Friday's practice as she appeared to tearfully complain about a problem with her right hand. However speaking to reporters later, the 19-year-old brushed off the incident, insisting she had "no concerns" ahead of Monday's opening round. "I think that today, the practice, I had, like, a few small things, got a couple of blisters, a bit of a niggle here and there," Raducanu said.
A thrilling schedule sees Serena Williams, Daniil Medvedev and Nick Kyrgios headline the first day of the US Open on Monday. Williams is in action against Danka Kovinic in her farewell tournament, reigning champion Medvedev makes his highly anticipated return to Grand Slam action versus Stefan Kozlov, and Kyrgios faces an intriguing showdown with doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis. Ad Elsewhere, Britain's Andy Murray takes to Louis Armstrong Stadium to face 24th seed Francisco Cerundolo and women’s seventh seed Simona Halep will follow that with a match versus a yet-to-be-announced qualifier.
A tearful Emma Raducanu endured an injury scare ahead of the US Open on Friday as she twice paused a practice session — but the British No. 1 was quick to play down concerns about her fitness.

Emma Raducanu is playing “better” tennis now than she was when she won last year’s US Open, according to Eurosport tennis expert Kim Clijsters. The teenage sensation incredibly beat Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 in last year’s final, coming through 10 matches as a qualifier without dropping a set, but has since experienced a dip in form and struggled to progress further than the second round in each of the three Grand Slams played this year. Ad Raducanu most recently fell short at the Cincinnati Open in the last 16 to Jessica Pegula, following her first round win over Serena Williams, after exiting earlier at the Canadian and Citi Opens.
