US Open: America's Sofia Kenin prevailed in a closely-contested showdown between Grand Slam champions at the US Open, beating Britain's Emma Raducanu 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 in the first round.

In their first meeting, 2020 Australian Open champion Kenin carved past 2021 US Open titlist Raducanu after 2 hours and 11 minutes of back-and-forth play.

Kenin will face her fellow American, No.6 seed Jessica Pegula, in the second round. They have split their four previous meetings but they have not played each other since 2021.
