Emma Raducanu Marks Winning Return to US Open with Commanding Victory

In the US Open tennis championship, Emma Raducanu marked her return to the winners’ circle yesterday with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 first-round victory over Japanese qualifier Ena Shibahara – her first win at the venue since her stunning 2021 title run.

With strong results earlier this season, including deep runs in Miami and Washington and a gritty battle with world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in Cincinnati, Raducanu’s US Open campaign looks promising.
