Emma Raducanu vs Janice Tjen LIVE: Date, start time, head-to-head and where to watch US Open second round clash

Emma Raducanu will look to kick on at the 2025 US Open when she faces Indonesia’s Janice Tjen in the second round.

The Briton shot to prominence in 2021 when she became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam in the Open Era at Flushing Meadows.

But in the tournaments that have followed in New York, it’s been a barren run for Raducanu.

Prior to this week, the 22-year-old had not tasted victory at the US Open since her triumph, having succumbed to first round exits in 2022 and 2024 and skipping the 2023 iteration due to surgery.

However, Raducanu has worked her way to regain the British number one ranking from Katie Boulter and is 35th in the world, her second-highest ranking since August 2022.

And she claimed her first US Open win in 1,443 days by breezing past World No. 130 Ena Shibahara in the first round.

Raducanu faces World No. 147 Tjen in the second round.

The match will take place on Wednesday, August 27 but the court and start time have not been confirmed yet.

Qualifier Tjen sprung a big surprise in the first round, beating 24th seed Veronika Kudermetova 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

Raducanu, who is in the top half of the draw, will likely face Elena Rybakina in the third round should she beat Tjen.
