EMMA RADUCANU will hope her tennis can do the talking as she begins her US Open campaign tomorrow.

Raducanu has grabbed the headlines in the build-up to the New York tournament after she brandished Andy Murray as “old news” in the first grand slam since the Scot’s retirement, while all the other British contingent were glowing in praise.

The 21-year-old takes on former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin as she eyes a first win at Flushing Meadows since her memorable title win in 2021.
