Overview

• Ninth seed Elena Rybakina swept Emma Raducanu 6-1, 6-2 in 62 minutes to reach the US Open fourth round.
• Raducanu had dropped only six games across her first two matches—her first US Open wins since 2021—before the third-round defeat.
• She said she never settled or found rhythm and that her weaknesses were highlighted, adding there is “a lot of work to do” against elite ball-strikers.
• The loss extended her struggles versus top-10 players to eight straight defeats, leaving her 3–13 against that group this year.
• Raducanu confirmed she is working with Francisco Roig through the end of 2025 and will pivot to Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup Finals campaign in China against Japan on September 18.
