Emma Raducanu's US Open title defence ends in defeat
Emma Raducanu's US Open title defence ended at the first hurdle with a nightmare straight-sets loss to France's Alize Cornet at Flushing Meadows in New York.
Raducanu did not drop a set in 10 matches last year but she was error-prone on a windy New York evening and fell to a 6-3 6-3 defeat.
The 19-year-old's ranking will now plummet to around the 80 mark but, after a year that has been far from easy, she may feel a sense of relief that this moment is over and she can seek to build more solid foundations for her tennis career.
