Emma Raducanu pinpoints exciting trend for US Open despite Aryna Sabalenka loss

Emma Raducanu is encouraged by her preparations for the US Open after pushing Aryna Sabalenka close in a competitive defeat in Cincinnati. Raducanu was beaten in a third-set tiebreak by the world No 1 having battled back from a set down to force a decider, and matched Sabalenka virtually stroke for stroke throughout. The 22-year-old, who claimed her only grand slam title to date in New York in 2021, has looked in good touch throughout the American hard-court swing that precedes the year's final major, and had also given Sabalenka a scare at Wimbledon in July. The Belarusian prevailed on that occasion 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 and Raducanu was pleased with an improved performance even on that showing, though it ultimately ended in defeat. 'She's world No 1 for a reason," Raducanu said following her third-round defeat. "I pushed her more than I did at Wimbledon, so that's that's an improvement. 'Also, it was good to have this result on a hard court because it's very different to grass, and I've always thought grass suits me a lot more - and I still believe that. So to have pushed her on a hard court like that, I'm pretty proud." The US Open singles draws will begin on Sunday 24 August with Raducanu set to play alongside Carlos Alcaraz in a new-look mixed doubles event at Flushing Meadows before the tournament proper commences. Raducanu has united with a new coach in Francis Roig, who has previously worked with Rafael Nadal, in recent weeks as she continues to refine her game. "I think starting the point is a big takeaway," the British No 1 said after her defeat to Sabalenka. "I think [Sabalenka] did that incredibly well; in the big moments, she served and returned really well. "I did too, in certain moments of the match, but to kind of hold that level on the starting point for the the whole match, I think that's a big thing for me."

Emma Raducanu v Aryna Sabalenka start time and how to watch Cincinnati Open

Emma Raducanu takes on Aryna Sabalenka in the third round of the Cincinnati Open as the British No 1 looks to get revenge for her Wimbledon defeat to the World No 1. Raducanu pushed Sabalenka hard in a thrilling late-night Centre Court clash last month, with the Belarusian ultimately prevailing 7-6 6-4. Raducanu has built some momentum since turning to the hard courts ahead of the US Open and reached the semi-finals in Washington before a third-round defeat to Amanda Anisimova in Montreal. The 22-year-old has a chance of being seeded for the US Open and will fancy another crack at Sabalenka, who defeated Marketa Vondrousova 7-5 6-1 in her first match since Wimbledon. Sabalenka has won both matches she has played against Raducanu, including another straight-sets win at Indian Wells last year. Here's everything you need to know. When is Emma Raducanu vs Aryna Sabalenka? Raducanu v Sabalenka is the second match scheduled on the Centre Court. It will directly follow the previous match between Taylor Townsend and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, which is due to start at 11am local time (4pm UK time). Raducanu v Sabalenka could therefore take to court at around 5:30pm UK time, but it could be slightly earlier or later depending on the previous match. How can I watch it? The Cincinnati Open is being shown live on Sky Sports Tennis in the UK. A stream will also be available on Sky Go or Now TV. What has Raducanu said before facing Sabalenka? After taking a bye through the first round and defeating Olga Danilovic in the second round, Raducanu said she was looking forward to finding out where her game is at by taking on the World No 1. 'It's always exciting for a player like me to play the very top, because it's like a fact-finding match,' ­Raducanu said, as reported by the Guardian. 'You see where you are in ­comparison to the top. 'I also think form fluctuates so much on the day. You can lose [6-2, 6-1] one day, you can win or you can make it close the next day, and it can be down to a few points. So I'm excited.'
