Emma Raducanu is taking on the new Olympic champion Belinda Bencic at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in the US Open quarter-finals today, as the British teenager aims to continue her fairytale run in New York.
Raducanu, 18, has dispatched all of her opponents so far in straight sets and beat the American Shelby Rogers 6-2, 6-1 in 66 minutes last time out. But she faces her toughest challenge yet in the Swiss 11th seed, Bencic, who is fresh from gold medal glory in Tokyo and has also steamrollered her way to the last eight, beating Polish sensation and French Open champion Iga Swiatek in the previous round.
Raducanu and Bencic have never met before and it promises to be an intriguing encounter between two in-form players. Both have been aggressive in finding winners from the baseline so far this tournament, but Raducanu may have to mix up her game if she is to avoid taking on Bencic in a straight hitting match, something the Swiss would relish. A place in the semi-finals of the US Open awaits the winner.
