WATCH: Emma Raducanu fought back tears during post match interview after US Open disappointment

The US Open so far has seen a lot of big upsets already and some of them involve some great players in the mix as well. There have been some shocking results in the tournament that we could not have expected at all. After all this is what makes the sport of tennis really unpredictable and the players down the line have to be prepared for everything this tournament has to give. 

One of the biggest upsets we saw recently in the tournament was when former 2020 US Open winner Emma Raducanu exited from the tournament. This was really disappointing to witness since this was also supposed to be her comeback at the venue and a chance to find her form. The three set game went in favor of her opponent Sofia Kinen and this was the end of her dreams of winning the second Grand Slam title of her career.

Raducanu controling her emotions

This was one of the most disappointing results for Raducanu which she would not want to remember at all. This was even evident during her post match interview where when she was discussing how her game as well. Raducanu could be clearly seen controlling her emotions after the loss and try not to break into tears. Her words while describing her loss was quite heartbreaking to hear as well and this shows how much this tournament meant to Raducanu who had created history at the same venue four years ago.

There is no surprise that this is an unhappy moment for any player in any sport, but it was still great to see Raducanu acknowledge her mistakes and the great performance from Kinen in the match. Though we all would have liked her to win the match it was still great to see her showing a great level of sportsmanship. We hope we see a strong return from the British Superstar down the line as well.
