Emma Raducanu meets Aryna Sabalenka at Cincinnati Open
- Raducanu reached the second round
- Sabalenka is the world number one
- The tournament is considered a preparation for the US Open
Emma Raducanu plays against Aryna Sabalenka in the third round of the Cincinnati Open. The British player, who is currently ranked 30th in the world, secured her place in the second round, where she faced Serbian Olga Danilovic. Raducanu won that match in two sets, allowing her to advance to the match against the world number one Sabalenka.
At Wimbledon last month, Raducanu faced Sabalenka in a tense battle, finishing the match with a score of 7-6, 6-4. She hopes to take revenge in Cincinnati, where she also prepares for the US Open, where she won her first grand slam in 2021.
The tournament takes place at the Lindner Family Tennis Center and is one of the ten WTA 1000 events on the calendar.
