As Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic discover their fates, Emma Raducanu receives a terrible draw for the US Open.
If Emma Raducanu wants to go past the preliminary rounds of the US Open, she will have to perform at her absolute best.
If Emma Raducanu hopes to advance farther in the US Open this month, she has an enormous battle ahead of her.
The British competitor will take on Sofia Kenin in the first round of the competition; if she wins, she’ll probably play Jessica Pegula.
The American prospect, who placed second at the Cincinnati Masters earlier this month, will be eager to make amends, which might be detrimental to Raducanu at Flushing Meadows. Raducanu might face fellow British player Katie Boulter in the third round and Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals if she prevails.
Novak Djokovic, who won the gold medal at the Olympics in Paris, is eager to build on his recent success and win a 25th Grand Slam singles championship. Having recently leveled the playing career of tennis legend Margaret Court, he would take the record for most in history if he were to win the championship.
With his draw against a qualifier in the first round of his competition, Djokovic’s actual fate is still unknown as those matches aren’t scheduled until Sunday.
A win would see him set up a clash with either Jan-Lennard Struff or Laslo Djere in the second round, with Alexei Popyrin likely to be his third-round opponent if both players can avoid any early upsets.
