"I'm just going to do things my way" - Raducanu said ahead of the US Open

Emma Raducanu won't change anything at the US Open and will do things her way and live with whatever result she achieves.

There has been a lot of talk about pressure for Emma Raducanu leading up to her US Open title defence. The Brit is not too worried about it and feels like it matters more to people than to herself. For her it's about doing things her own way and approaching it one match at a time:

"I think you guys are thinking probably more about pressure and ranking than me. I think defending a title is just something that the press makes up. I'm just taking it one match at a time. Like, every single player is very capable in this draw. I just focus on what I'm doing, my own trajectory. As I said last year, I'm just going to do things my way.”

Being back feels nice to her but she was able to create so many memories last year in New York, memories that will stay with her forever:

“It's really nice to be back in New York. I mean, it's great for me to come here having done a year on the tour, having played most of the tournaments. I've obviously got amazing memories in New York. It's got to be up there as one of my favourite tournaments,”
