Emma Raducanu’s reign as US Open champion is over and she will make an abrupt return to the ranks after a first-round loss to French veteran Alize Cornet. On a windy night in New York, the Kent teenager was unable to repeat the incredible events of twelve months ago and conceded the trophy at the first time of asking. Cornet won 6-3 6-3 in 102 minutes and although there was plenty of resistance, it was not backed up by sufficient consistency in difficult conditions. Emma Raducanu’s reign as US Open champion came to an end as she was defeated on Tuesday night French veteran Alize Cornet beats defending US Open champion in straight sets There was plenty of resistance from the British, but it was not backed up by sufficient consistency The versatile, unpredictable game of the talented veteran proved to be too much with Radukanou committing 31 unforced errors in a match full of them. She couldn’t find her serve either and joined the many famous names that have fallen to Cornet during her long career. Raducanu may have been hampered by the resurgence of blisters on her finger, but it may not be a bad thing for her ranking to now reach a level that would require rebuilding. Certainly the pressure will be less as she drops to around number 80 after that, over 2000 points having dropped from her tally. The 19-year-old may have been hindered by the resurgence of blisters on her finger Raducanu waited almost 50 weeks for this moment and was obliged to continue for another half hour due to the overrun of the day’s session at the Louis Armstrong Stadium. He might have expected an immediate return to the Arthur Ashe but had to make do in the secondary arena on a windy night with a hint of rain in the air. Cornet was one of the toughest draws the British player could have, ranked just outside the seedings at number 40 and in strong form this summer. Her streak of playing 63 consecutive Majors began when Raducanu was just four years old. The French world No.40 was one of the toughest draws the British player could have The defending champion received a standing ovation when she walked onto the court with tape on her fingers instantly recognizable. It was clear from the start how gusts would be a major factor. With the wind coming from behind, Cornet threw two double faults in the end playing to Mets’ infield and Raducanu singled. That end, which had former Wimbledon champion Virginia Wade close to the front, was hard to hold and Raducanu was promptly eliminated. Raducanu gave Louis Armstrong a standing ovation, but the tape on her fingers was noticeable Raducanu broke in the opening set but was promptly broken by Cornet The first set saw five breaks, although both players did a good job of controlling the ball. Cornet’s excellent touch saw her hit three excellent lobs to upset the British number one when she was in a winning position. Raducanu broke for 4-2 but then struggled to control the ball to fall behind again, and Cornet almost sealed it to become the first player to take a set since the Kent teenager at Flushing Meadows. The end of the set led to an intimate call from Raducanu from the doctor’s office to tend to her blisters, which also appeared almost nine months ago in Australia. The French player showed excellent play at the net with a series of lobs After the break, it immediately broke, but then flattened out when Cornette appeared to be partially detached from the roof closing above as raindrops began to fall. Three games saw the teenager make it 3-1 as double faults overwhelmed the Frenchman, but the kind of Raducanu Roll we saw a year ago didn’t materialise. There is still a lot of work to be done before the final product is made, and the process could be easier living more in the shadows.
