"Nervous" Emma Raducanu Knocks Serena Williams Out Of Cincinnati Masters
Serena Williams bowed out of the WTA/ATP Cincinnati Masters at the first hurdle on Tuesday, losing in straight sets to US Open champion Emma Raducanu as the end of her glittering career looms ever closer. Williams, who last week indicated that she is planning to retire after this month's US Open, was no match for British teenager Raducanu, who romped to a 6-4, 6-0 win. The 40-year-old Williams left the court swiftly after the defeat without speaking to television reporters and did not hold a press conference.

Emma Raducanu says it was “a true honour” to share the court with Serena Williams as she thrashed the American 6-4 6-0 in the first round of the Cincinnati Masters. Raducanu largely dominated a match which was given a big build-up after Williams announced she was “evolving away” from tennis, hinting at retirement following the US Open.

Nick Kyrgios overcomes tricky Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in Cincinnati opener
The Australian marched through with 29 winners - including 10 aces - and three breaks of the Spaniard's serve to reach the second round. The 28th-ranked Kyrgios has won all 11 of his first-round matches this season and won his 22nd match since returning to the ATP in June after skipping the clay season. He now faces good friend Taylor Fritz after the American crushed Sebastian Baez 6-1, 6-1. "Physically, I didn't feel the best, but you have to keep pushing, keep trying," Kyrgios said. "Alejandro's a hell of a player, he's got a lot of shots at his disposal. I had to serve well and dictate," the Montreal quarter-finalist aded. "It was tricky conditions out there, the courts are a lot more lively than Montreal, it was harder to control the ball."
