Fans think they know why Emma Raducanu did not embrace Jack Draper after the pair played in the first round of the new US Open mixed doubles event.

Mark Petchey says he is “super happy” for Emma Raducanu after she hired Francisco Roig as her new coach. Petchey started working with the British No. 1 on an ad-hoc basis when they bumped into each other at the Miami Open earlier this year, but he says he was never supposed to be a full-time member of Raducanu’s team.

The tennis player couldn't focus on her match with a baby that had been crying in the audience for nearly 10 minutes.

In a third-round match between WTA world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and British No. 1 Emma Raducanu Monday in Cincinnati, Raducanu was distracted by a constant cry from a child in the crowd. In a critical moment of the match, she paused her serve to take it up with the chair umpire.

The main singles draw at the US Open does not start until this weekend but the mixed doubles are already well underway. The first round of matches took place last night with Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz teaming up on the court. They were dumped out in the very first round by Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, who progressed to the semi-finals.
