Emma Reducanu, who made a splash at the 2021 US Open to win the event, has revealed she is feeling the pressure ahead of the final Grand Slam of the year, with reporters constantly asking her questions about playing at Flushing Meadows.
World No. 10 Emma Reducanu lost to Russia’s Lyudmila Samsonova (who went on to win the event) in Washington last week.
Emma Reducanu says the only pressure she feels before the US Open is from the press
“The pressure only arises if I put it on myself or on what I expect from myself. I feel pressure or think about it when I’m in press conferences because absolutely every question is about pressure.
I’m looking forward to going back (to New York) and whatever happens, I think it’s going to be a great closing chapter, heaven forbid.
No matter what the outcome I get, I will be able to start over, with a clean slate. If I lose all points, I will create a way back. I think that no matter what happens, this will be a new start.” – Emma Radukanu.
In 2021, Reducanu achieved one of the best results in tennis history, winning the trophy at Flushing Meadows, although he started qualifying when he was ranked 150 in the world.
The athlete of Romanian origin has not won a tournament since then, and she withdrew from Rome (May) and Nottingham (June) due to injuries, leaving Roland Garros and Wimbledon after the second round, according to Agerpres.
