In a second-round knockout, Emma Raducanu floored qualifier Janice Tjen with a relentless barrage of power punches. The British star delivered a stunning 6-2, 6-1 victory, overwhelming her opponent with a display of force that sends her into the third round of the US Open.
From the opening bell, Raducanu came out swinging. Her serve was a haymaker, setting up easy points and putting Tjen on the ropes immediately. Her forehand was a devastating right hook, ending rallies with brutal efficiency. She never gave Tjen a moment to breathe, constantly pressing forward with her attack.
Tjen, a crafty fighter with a good defense, had no answer for Raducanu’s raw power. She was knocked back on her heels early and was never able to recover. The match was a clear mismatch in weight class, with Raducanu’s heavyweight power proving far too much for the challenger.
This knockout performance is a warning to the rest of the contenders in the draw. Raducanu is not here to play a points game; she is here to score knockouts. Her power and aggression make her one of the most dangerous punchers in the tournament, and she is looking for another title belt.
