Raducanu: "I feel sad".

Is Emma Raducanu now cursed at the US Open?

Since her unthinkable title win in 2021, the British nugget simply hasn't won a match at Flushing Meadows.

Beaten by Kenin in the first round (6-1, 3-6, 6-4), Raducanu appeared at the press conference with an emotional expression on her face.

In tears, she declared: "I feel down, I feel sad.

Obviously, this is a tournament in which I really want to do well. Maybe I was a bit slow at the beginning.

I would have preferred to play a bit more before the US Open.

You know, I know that when I have a lot of matches, like all players, I feel really good.

It feels like everything's automatic. So yes, I think I can learn from it."
