Emma Raducanu will face Alize Cornet in the US Open first round aiming to defend her title. Unfortunately, Emma seems to be not in her best condition. The British sensation was caught in tears after a recent practice session. Apparently, she is struggling with blisters and probably minor injuries.
Emma tried to play down the situation, but it seemed she is not 100% confident about her condition.

Emma Raducanu says she has a ‘couple of blisters and niggles here and there’ but plays down doubts which emerged during her practice about US Open. Puts it down to a bad day at the office.
