US Open tennis day one: Raducanu and Shelton race through, Sabalenka wins – as it happened

Former champion Emma Raducanu secured her first victory at Flushing Meadows since lifting the trophy in 2021

Shibahara's double fault allows Raducanu to make it 15-all, and a forehand into the net gives Raducanu the next point. But Shibahara is finally on the board, a forehand down the line providing her some relief. Raducanu leads 5-1.

Shibahara finds the net while trying to return a backhand slice and goes long moments later, allowing Raducanu to go 5-0 up.
