Emma Raducanu wiped away tears at her post-match news conference after losing to Sofia Kenin 1-6, 6-3, 4-6 in the first round of the US Open, keeping the 2021 champion winless at the tournament since her title.

“I feel down. I feel sad,” Raducanu said, pausing to find her words. “Obviously this is a tournament I really want to do well in.”
