Emma Raducanu claimed her first victory at the US Open since winning the title in 2021 as she breezed past qualifier Ena Shibahara in just 62 minutes.
After famously winning the US Open as an 18-year-old qualifier four years ago, Raducanu has twice crashed out in the opening round – losing to Alize Cornet in 2022 and Sofia Kenin in 2024.
