EMMA RADUCANU revealed she has added a chiropractor who works with horses and Formula One drivers to her travelling team after racing to her first win at the US Open since her 2021 triumph.

The British No.1 needed only 62 minutes to beat Japanese qualifier and world No.128 Ena Shibahara 6-1 6-2 in the Louis Armstrong Arena.

In her player box was Henley-based Frenchman Dr Jerome Poupel (right) - a celebrity healer with Tony McCoy, David Coulthard and Russell Brand as high-profile clients.

The world No.36 has suffered from a spate of injuries since her teenage triumph here.

Raducanu said: "I've had back problems for the last year, so he's just really helped with that.
