Raducanu Wins First US Open Match Since 2021

News summary

Emma Raducanu achieved a significant milestone at the 2025 US Open by securing her first match victory at the tournament since her breakthrough 2021 championship. She decisively defeated Japanese qualifier Ena Shibahara 6-1, 6-2 in just over an hour, marking her quickest main-draw win at a Grand Slam and her 25th victory of the season. This win ended a four-year winless streak in New York, where she had previously faced early exits and injury setbacks, including missing the 2023 event due to surgery. Raducanu credited her recent progress to consistent practice, a new coaching partnership with Francisco Roig, and improvements in her physical and mental game. Her dominant performance signals a resurgence and renewed confidence as she aims to reclaim her status among tennis elites. She will face the winner of the match between Veronika Kudermetova and Janice Tjen in the second round, with hopes high for a deep run at the tournament.
