Emma Raducanu Crashes Out In The First Round Of The Us Open.

US Open champion Emma Raducanu’s title defense has ended at the first hurdle as she lost in straight sets to France’s Alize Cornet.

The 19-year-old stunned the world by winning the major as a teenage qualifier, but her return to court at Flushing Meadows was less memorable.

The British number one was out-hustled and bullied by the experienced Cornet, who won 6-3 6-3 in New York.

Raducanu seeded 11th, will fall down the rankings after losing the points she earned with the title last year.
