Emma Raducanu is into the third round of the US Open after a stunningly dominant performance that felt like a direct replay of 2021. The British star was simply on another level, dismantling the highly-touted qualifier Janice Tjen in a blistering 6-2, 6-1 victory.
From the moment she stepped onto the court, Raducanu was on fire. She played with the same power, precision, and fearless energy that led her to the title four years ago, leaving her opponent with no answers. Her serve was untouchable and her groundstrokes were punishing, painting a picture of a champion in full flight.
Tjen, who had been on an incredible run of her own, was powerless to stop the assault. Raducanu met the moment with the poise of a Grand Slam winner, ending the Cinderella story of her opponent while emphatically reigniting her own New York narrative.
With a performance this commanding, talk of a remarkable repeat is growing louder with every passing hour. Raducanu’s form sends a clear message to the rest of the draw: the champion is back and she means business.
