Serena Williams and Emma Raducanu are meant to face off in a blockbuster first round match in Cincinnati. It was expected that the encounter would take place on Monday. However, according to well-known and respected sports presenter Marcus Bickland, the match was rescheduled on Tuesday because of some injury concerns for Serena.

The source is definitely trustworthy and some fans expressed their concern that a player’s condition should not make a tournament change its scheduling.

Apparent injury concern for @serenawilliams means her eagerly anticipated 1st round clash @CincyTennis with @EmmaRaducanu will not now take place on Monday.
Still have Murray – Wawrinka to look forward to @primevideosport
