2 h. ago ‘I am tough’ – Emma Raducanu on legacy of her US Open win, stalking ordeal and why therapy won’t help her

The 2021 champion returns to Flushing Meadows in the best frame of mind since her extraordinary title winFor four arduous years, so much of Emma Raducanu’s life has played out in public. Every decision relating to her career has been dissected and debated. The most banal details surrounding her personal life have been transfigured into headline news. In order to find herself on and off the tennis court, Raducanu has had to learn how to tune out the noise, which at times can be deafening.Only one month ago at Wimbledon, the discourse surrounding the 22-year-old reached diabolical lows.

Briton beaten 7-6 (3), 4-6, 7-6 (5) in third roundMatch lasted three hours and nine minutesBy the end of another breathless opening set against the best player in the world, Emma Raducanu was a picture of frustration and despair. Instead of allowing her emotions to consume her, though, they inspired one of the most impressive performances of her career as she pushed Aryna Sabalenka, the world No 1, to her limits over three hours and nine minutes on court before narrowly falling 7-6(3), 4-6, 7-6(5) in the third round of the Cincinnati Open.Although Raducanu’s record against the top five now stands at 1-11, this is just the third time that she has won a set against a top two opponent.
