I Just Always Do Things A Little Bit Differently, Says Emma Ahead Of US Open

US Open: Emma Raducanu reflected on her unique approach as she gears up for her second US Open since winning the title in 2021. Tuesday's opening round matchup features the 21-year-old American against fellow Grand Slam champion Sofia Kenin. The winner may advance to face sixth seed Jessica Pegula in the second round.

The 21-year-old emphasised her distinct path, stating, "I just always do things a little bit differently," Raducanu told BBC Sport. Despite reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon, Raducanu chose to skip the Olympics and has only played one tournament in the past six weeks. She explains her decision-making process, noting, "I really wanted to play in Toronto, especially because I was born there, but the turnaround was too tight for qualifying."

"I would have had to play on Sunday and I finished [in Washington] late Friday night, so flying there and adjusting I just felt was too tight.
