NEW YORK—At just 22 years old, Emma Raducanu has already experienced everything the US Open has to offer. The 2021 champion has played in front of a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd and, that same year, competed on an empty USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center when lingering pandemic concern mandated a spectator-free qualifying tournament.

Emma Raducanu claimed her first US Open victory since winning the title four years ago in ruthless fashion in New York. The British number one opened the tournament on Louis Armstrong Stadium in the event’s first Sunday start and needed just 62 minutes to sweep aside Japanese qualifier Ena Shibahara 6-1 6-2.
