As the 2024 US Open approaches, all eyes are on British tennis star Emma Raducanu, who has been making waves in the tennis world since her historic win at the tournament just three years ago. Fans and experts alike are eager to see if she can replicate her success and make another deep run in New York.
Raducanu's first-round opponent has been announced, and it's none other than Sofia Kenin. This is a highly anticipated match, as Raducanu has been on a resurgence this year, reaching the last 16 at Wimbledon and securing her first wins against top 10 players. However, this has also been her first time back on the court since undergoing triple surgery just over a year ago. Despite this, she has been given a solid 8.5/10 rating by tennis legend Tim Henman for her performance so far this season.
One notable absence from Raducanu's schedule this year was the Olympic Games in Paris, as she chose to focus on the hard-court swing instead. This decision has paid off, as she has been climbing up the rankings and gaining momentum heading into the US Open. With her sights set on the title, Raducanu is preparing for her first match at Flushing Meadows.
But when will this match take place? As of now, we are still waiting for the official order of play to be released. The schedule could potentially change depending on the duration of other matches, but we do know that it will be either on Monday, August 26 or Tuesday, August 27. Some matches may start as early as 4pm UK time, while the night matches won't begin until midnight UK time.
For those in the UK, Sky Sports will be broadcasting the US Open. It is expected that Raducanu's first-round match will be shown on their dedicated tennis channel, Sky Sports Tennis. They have also recently introduced a new service, Sky Sports+, which is available on their TV, NOW TV, and app platforms. The coverage will feature a star-studded team, including Tim Henman, Laura Robson, Martina Navratilova, Feliciano Lopez, Anne Keothavong, and Marion Bartoli.
Fans can also look forward to contributions from players such as Liam Broady, Jamie Murray, and Annabel Croft. With such an impressive lineup, there's no doubt that Sky Sports will provide comprehensive coverage of Raducanu's journey at the US Open. So clear your schedule and get ready to cheer on this rising British tennis star.
