Raducanu going ‘back to the drawing board’ after US Open loss
Emma Raducanu returns a shot to Alize Cornet during the first round of the US Open tennis championships, August 30, 2022, in New York

A TEARFUL Emma Raducanu was feeling “sad” on Tuesday night as her wait for a first win at the US Open since her memorable 2021 triumph goes on.

The 21-year-old stunned the world three years ago when she won the title in her third senior tournament, but it has not been a happy hunting ground since.
