Emma Raducanu gets daunting US Open draw as Iga Swiatek faces big rivals

Published

on

World No 1 Iga Swiatek has been handed a challenging draw at the US Open, with potential matches against Jessica Pegula and Danielle Collins in her quarter of the draw.

Swiatek could face a run of matches that includes a fourth round clash against rising star Mirra Andreeva, who pushed her all the way in a compelling contest in Cincinnati last week.

Pegula or Collins could then lie in wait in the quarter-finals, with Eleyna Rybakina a possible semi-final opponent before a showdown with Aryna Sabalenka in the final.

Meanwhile, 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu has been handed a daunting draw at the US Open as she seeks her first win in New York since winning the title in 2021.

The 21-year-old shocked the world when she won at Flushing Meadows three years ago but lost in the first round in 2022 and then missed last year with injury.

The draw has been unkind to the British No 2, who has drawn former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin, currently ranked 55th, in the first round.

If she wins that then American sixth seed Jessica Pegula is likely to be waiting in the second round before a possible all-British third round tie against Katie Boulter.
