It’s Cornet to serve and she wins the first point of the match after her opponent dumps a forehand into the net. The 19-year-old Briton has had a mixed lead-up to the tournament. Cornet is about as tough a player as you’re going to find among the unseeded ranks in this year’s tournament. Raducanu hits a forehand into the net and Cornet has the first set. A few points later, Cornet splashes a backhand long and the champ has broken at the first opportunity. Raducanu can’t get to a drop shot and Cornet holds. She has a good chance to take it to deuce shortly afterwards but misses a backhand with the court gaping wide. A backhand into the net gives the champion the game. Raducanu looks like she’s going to take the game at 40-30 but Cornet reaches to return a volley and hits a brilliant winner.

But with options up, she hits a forehand straight at her opponent and Cornet is able to level the game at deuce. Raducanu did play with more freedom as the set went on though, and Cornet was a little shaky herself, sending down five double faults.

Over the summer, as the US Open drew closer, Raducanu acknowledged the possibility that she could lose the 2,040 points she gained in 2021. She is a better tennis player than Raducanu at this moment in time, something that was reflected in the result. Then Raducanu pieced together her cleanest stretch of ball striking and nailed a winning backhand down the line to break for 3-1. She finally reached her first grand slam quarter-final in emotional scenes at the Australian Open and she has beaten Iga Swiatek, Simona Halep, Garbiñe Muguruza and Jelena Ostapenko in majors this year. Cornet, the world No 40, is not only one of the highest ranked players to miss out on a top 32 seeding, she is also enjoying the best grand slam year of her career.

EMMA RADUCANU lost in the first round of the US Open.

Britain's Emma Raducanu has reflected upon her "really disappointing, really sad" first-round defeat to Alize Cornet at the US Open.

I should definitely keep the drop shot in my game." I think my game at the net was pretty good too. I think the rest of the year is that. But I just hung in there and I was fighting my heart out so super happy. But 14 points of 15 won at the net was pretty good. She's a great player and a great person so I'm sorry I beat her tonight," she said in her on-court interview. "I'm really happy about my performance. In a way, I've kind of done that so I want another tournament. "It doesn't really matter what it is. She is also pleased to now have a "clean slate" ahead of next year. For Cornet, though, the opportunity to cause a big result in her record-breaking 63rd consecutive major appearance was a sizeable one. But I kind of want new experiences.

Emma Raducanu was “really sad” to see her US Open title defence end at the first hurdle but feels she now has a clean slate to move forward in her career.

Raducanu admitted she found the conditions tricky, saying: “It was quite windy. But you tape it up and move on it. The assuredness that marked her game 12 months ago just was not there. “But I think that’s just down to humidity and stuff. To be top 100, if you told me that a year ago, I’d take it.” The target will be off my back slightly.

Eurosport expert Mats Wilander has given his reaction to defending champion Emma Raducanu suffering a first-round defeat to Alize Cornet at the US Open.

She is also pleased to now have a "clean slate" ahead of next year. "Right now, she's sort of in between aggressive and not being really aggressive, and I think she can be aggressive and she has more confidence. In fact, I think this is a very, very important step in her career that defending this title is over and she can now focus on her tennis, and trying to get her ranking up in a normal way, rather than just rise completely to the top. "I'm very excited to see her continue and push forwards because I do think that she seems like a great person. Let's work and figure out what it is that makes her happy in terms of how she plays, and then this is how she’s going to end up playing. Or does she use her movement skills, and dial back a little bit and play with a little bit of variation? She's obviously the biggest thing that happened in British sports in a long, long, long time, for the women's side and on the men's side, too. Hopefully, she can hang on to [current coach] Dmitry Tursunov for a little longer than a few months because I think that is important too. She had a lot of confidence last year, and she is a fighter, and she plays well. "She started off well in the second set, that is when I thought she was going to turn it around. "I don't see much of a difference from Emma this year compared to last year, except she was just confident and other players were scared to play her. "It looked to me like she was playing OK," Wilander said on Eurosport.

Title defence ends in the first round with a 6-3, 6-3 defeat to Alizé Cornet.

She will fall to 79th in the WTA rankings at best, she will be unseeded in lower events and, unless she opts for wildcards, she will have to enter the qualifying rounds of the bigger tournaments. In the end, this was Cornet’s moment. Collins, meanwhile, is competing in her first tournament after taking six weeks off due to a neck injury. She retrieved the break with a supreme drop shot, and her hand skills and improvisational genius helped her roll through five games in a row as she toppled yet another prominent player. “It is a clean slate,” she said. The pressure she imposed on Raducanu eventually provoked a double fault from Raducanu on break point at 4-3. She is a better tennis player than Raducanu at this moment. She pieced together her cleanest stretch of ball-striking early on, nailing a winning backhand down the line to break for 3-1. Raducanu emerged on Louis Armstrong Stadium to an intense ovation worthy of her status as defending champion, and throughout the match the crowd tried hard to animate her. A year ago, Raducanu pulled off one of the most surprising runs in tennis history, but her 2022 season has been a series of reminders about just how difficult this sport is. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” she wrote. From the moment the draw was announced, it was clear that Raducanu had been handed one of the toughest unseeded opponents.
