A TEARFUL Emma Raducanu admitted she would have to go "back to the drawing board" after her hopes of a deep run at the US Open ended at the first hurdle.
The 2021 champion was beaten 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 by former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin in a highquality match here at Flushing Meadows last night.
Raducanu fought back tears in an emotional news conference and admitted her decision to play just one tournament in the build-up did not help her produce her best tennis under pressure.
Admitting she will "learn from it" and look to "manage my schedule differently", Raducanu said: "I feel down. I feel sad. Obviously, this is a tournament I really want to do well in.
"I'm just going to go back to the drawing board and train, analyse where I went wrong and try to improve for the rest of the season.
