Rapid US Open victory was ‘extra special’ for Raducanu

After famously winning the US Open as an 18-year-old qualifier four years ago, Raducanu has twice crashed out in the opening round - losing to Alize Cornet in 2022 and Sofia Kenin in 2024.

But the 22-year-old said she is returning to the US Open in a better place, having enjoyed a consistent run on the court and showing some decent form ahead of the final grand slam of the year.
