The 2021 US Open main draw runs from August 30 - September 12 in New York City at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The tournament takes place for the 141st time and is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year. Dominic Thiem is the men’s singles defending champion but has withdrawn following an injury. Naomi Osaka is the women’s singles defending champion and will be aiming to claim the title for the third time in four years. Meanwhile, No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic looks to complete the calendar Grand Slam after winning the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon already this year. Should the Serbian lift the title here for the fifth time, he will also overtake Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to become the first-ever man to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles. With full capacity crowds back again, it’s time for the greatest return!

Even her response to the Barty question was spot on about Shelby playing in front of her home crowd and the motivation that will bring.
She is so well mannered and always gracious when she talks about the other tennis players
The most interesting thing she has is intelligence, she plays really smart tennis, her decision making is great, also in press she answers like the best veteran player would, she is super smart in my opinion.
Not that difficult right? Makes u wonder why it has become impossible for Osaka to maneuver? It's just basically public speaking skills which Osaka could master with some further one on one professional assistance.
@@lizdahl847 Osaka is too busy putting on the baby voice
Your not wrong but I think the most interesting thing about this young player is her absolute CHRUSHING forehand. Soon to be the best in the game.
All the idiots assuming it would be Ash as her next opponent. 🙄
Spot on, Andres. She's a clever young lady, having excelled academically at school and now handling press conferences such as this with skill, thoughtfulness and considerable maturity. Being English, am obviously a tad biased but I reckon she's a future No 1.
I am impressed by her game and maturity. A couple of journalists were assuming her next rival would be Barty and Emma didn't fall into the trap.
What did enma do to avoid barty?
@Aydın It made sense to me. She didn´t predict that Barty would win.
@@rahul.9882 Nothing: Barty was beaten by Rogers later in the day.
@Aydın, if you actually watch the whole interview, maybe my comment will make sense.
@@rahul.9882 Shelby Rogers eliminated Ash Barty in the 3rd Round!
Intelligent, well-spoken woman. If she's as studious about the game as pundits say she is, she'll go far. She certainly has the game.
True, I just googled her bio out of curiosity. Romanian father and a Chinese mother, both are financial executives. Tennis needs these young and promising talents.
"Woman" lol
@@strikerbowls791 ??? She is a woman what’s with the “woman”??
@@oliverek7 i think it's because she's just 18 yo...
Yeah tennis seems a lot like adapting to even every ball when I play. Being able to think on your feet and problem solve mid-match is a big bonus but that comes more with experience I think if she has that already thats impressive
Romanian-Chinese blended born in Canada and grown in UK. This is what happens when you work hard and take the best from all these cultures. 🇷🇴🇨🇳🇨🇦🇬🇧
A person is not just about looks...she is more British than the Anglo-saxon ones.
@@om4482 can I just point out that Anglo Saxon brits are now discriminated against. In the name of diversity being white anglosaxon is a disadvantage. Don’t believe me, look at the tv. Preference is given to diversity. I’m not make excuses. When I was at school in the z80 and 90s boys were ahead of the girls in exams. But they changed the system to more course work content. The Uk is social engineering on a huge scale. The disadvantaged white working class have been disadvantaged for too long yet there was no positive discrimination for this disadvantaged group. Ever. But now we have positive discrimination for everyone else. As for being patriots, us white brits are pillared for our pro Britishness. It’s seen as a negative. There are many fantastic brits. Look s as t the olympic medal table, look in our fields of endeavour. Us brits are up there but give every a chance.
@@nicholasmills6489 Well that's the offshoot of a neo-liberal world order and open and free global trade. Britain cant have it's cake and eat it too.
@@nicholasmills6489 true :( GB has its fair share of troubles
@@om4482 but americans CAN !
Great press conference. Maturity and eloquence beyond her years; it's refreshing to hear! And her tennis is just a dream. Can't wait to see what happens next week - go Emma!
Beyond her tennis abilities and mature intelligence, I hope she never stops smiling.
And a high IQ to match!
What strikes me is that her incredible success appears in no small part down to her deep respect and preparation for each opponent she faces. No delusions of grandeur. Long may it continue :)
Emma is a wonderful combination of brains, beauty and prowess.
Sure mate
Well done Emma! Loved her debut at Wimbledon. Great for 🇬🇧 tennis. Congrats!
Emma is phenomenal! She could easily win the entire championship!
Weihan Xingqi Stop being silly.
Not easily
Wow SHE WON 😂
@@fishandchips9033 Got egg on your face? LOL
Look she attained A star for mathematics in her GCE A levels (Senior high) examinations. She probably calculates everything in her game. She plays scientific tennis and this sets her apart from all the other tennis players, male or female. It is this that allowed her to win 10 games without dropping a set and also to win against more experienced players.
She's so smart on and off the court. Makes it difficult not to love her🤩😍😍
This young lady is a new star in the making, I even think that one day she may win Wimbledon itself she is talented and beautiful as well, but handles herself with charm and humility as well also too.
I do love her
Absolutely gorgeous and smart......i can already see a long line of sponsors....glad she is playing for Britain......we love her
Tennis players hit the wall hard bc of the sun, enjoy it before she’s a prune
a romanian playing for Britain.........
@@qsenc She was born in Canada, moved to London at age 2, has a Romanian father and a Chinese mother. So I wouldn't call her "Romanian" any more than Chinese or Canadian.
@@potzysk2 ...she has an English accent so she's English.....
@@chatham43 Yes of course she is a Brit. My point was it's not correct to call her Romanian (or Chinese or Canadian).
Getting to the second week will be a great step up for this upcoming superstar
So mature and engaging. Refreshing to see someone enjoying her tennis and just being grateful and respectful for what she’s achieved.
Which is what?
@@jacinthpearson7716 entertaining us ?
Handles the slime ball press with a veterans mentality, drop dead cute, smart thinker , future number 1 seed. Very magnetic personality , the big company’s are going to be offering her Life long ,big cash endorsement opportunities.
Future superstar
Interviewers 0 Raducanu 6
She's pretty generous with the bagels. Lovely manners.
She handled herself during this press conference with intelligence, maturity and eloquence beyond her years. Expectations are running high but I’m sure she will remain grounded.
Beauty, talent, and intelligence. Also seems like a nice person. They say no one has it all. Emma is an exception. :D
I thought you men bully women about hitting the wall. I can’t keep up with your love/hate relationship with women. Would be nice if you would mind your own business.
Emma i thought looked a bit nervous before this press conference but wow does she deliver in her answers and shows so much poise and maturity way beyond her years.
Felicitari Emma si mult succes in continuare 🤞🤗
those baseline winners from both sides🤯🤯
Refreshing and delightful Emma has it all You go girl
You can always trust the British press to ask leading questions (Barty), hoping to get quotes which can be stored and used to attack her in the future. I like the way she smartly avoided the trap.
Such great poise the best ambassador for women's tennis and the new us open champion 👏
She could actually win this........ though am rooting for Sakarri or Svitolina but I wouldn't mind her as 🏆🏆🏆
That's a stretch.
@@RaduRadonys if I told you Layla would beat naomi osaka would that be a stretch, tbh you're right but I hope it happens
@@RaduRadonys she's in the final now
@@tomdavies3680 Yes I know, I think she will actually win the US Open, I'm happy for her, but you must know that in the beginning not many people would have given her many chances.
For 18 she has a pleasant and mature voice.
She makes me so proud 🥲
Wowwwww her game & her accent🔥🧡🔥💯🌹
What a very articulate young lady think she will go along in this game and she’s British
She is EMMAZING! ❤❤❤
BRIGHT LADY, SHE HAS THE DEMEANOR OF A CHAMPION. I CANT WAIT
Very cool. Future star! She has a Federer-like tempo and Henin-Hardenne like intensity!
That's exactly right! Great comparison. Justine Hénin was such a brilliant player.
Henin-Hardenne 's game was class.
Shame she hasn't got Henin's single handed backhand though 😟
Eggs in the faces of some of the journalists, speculating that Ash Barty would beat Shelby Rogers and that Emma would struggle against Ash. Well, both presumptions were wrong. Emma emerged victorious! Ride on girl!
Holy smokes! How articulate for a 17year old! Incredible.
Emma is 18 and will be 19 this coming November 13, 2021.
@@almanns.batiao9516 still articulate for her age
@@edwinfcapidos Yes, she is. I'm impressed as well with her A* Level in Mathematics and A in Economics! Plus she's pretty too. Incidentally, she was the poster girl of the recently concluded WTA 250 in Chicago.
It seems that we, tennis lovers, are entering a new age of young tennis wonders. I knew she had romanian blood, because of her surname, but I had no idea that the mom is of Chinese blood. Interesting is her racial heritage and even more interesting is how she has grown prodigiously. On the other side of the Atlantic, another young prodigy, Miss Leylah Fernandez, even bears semblance to Miss Raducanu. What a wonderful treat it would be ...to see them battle it out in this 2021 ladies singles final. I wish BOTH of them the very best in this wondrous game of tennis. As I usually, I end my post: UNO ALLA VOLTA (One/One step at a time)!
Congratulations professional tennis Emma Raducanu!🎉🎉❤😊
hoping i am seeing someone like stefi graf
With crowd loyalties, her match against Rogers will be a tough ask, but I sense she relishes the challenge.
Nah. Rogers' going to lose.
@@lexismith8206 Rogers has no chance w her!
i like her performance, I want to know what Emma said, sadly there is no running text below ...regards from indonesia
Well she speaks perfect English, not fast, well paced, what is the problem? You look like you know English.
@@RaduRadonys ya Mr. i am only can speak english but i can't listen well
@@RaduRadonys a lot of people can write english but not speak very well. That's the product of drilling in grammar rules and vocab- you can't really understand native speakers unfortunately.
Latihan listening mas... dia bagus banget ngomongnya.
@@peppermint636 thank you Mr, I don't think that
How eloquent is this lass? Also got a wicked forehand. I can see her going to the very top of her game.
1m52 "I think I'm improving"; Understatement of the year?
Two young half asian❤ fernandez and raducanu❤
Mixed culture individuals are always fascinating
Osaka too but she's got head issues currently.
@@dueldab2117 Very deep rooted issues I would say and nothing to do with tennis. She needs to take a year off and figure it out. She has plenty of money to get professional help. So far she hasn't pursued that path for her recovery.
If you want to look at Raducanu's heritage, far more noticeable are the commonalities between Andreescu and Raducanu, two Romanians, born in Toronto, both inspired by Halep's success. Both of them have pictures taken with Halep when they were kids!
@@lizdahl847 I think she’s trying to be who she’s not. She’s just a quiet girl that’s in her head all the time and suddenly she’s some liberal justice warrior…she’s taking on the weight of the worlds issues and it’s not her job. Once she accepts that she’ll be ok.
Our new pin-up girl in tennis...sooo pretty and so humble...Go Go Go Emma
Oh, she is not only smart and talented but also gorgeous!
That's impossible to be so mature at her age !!! Really impressed !!!
I hope she does not get distracted by endorsements and showbiz, the way Osaka did.
Kournikova. Bouchard. Ivanovic should be her model.
Exactly; and the same thing is happening with Gauff
@@claudiarimington8218 Should be not...
@@adeotosamuel7629 I don't think that's fair on Coco. She is a very young girl who has made her breakthrough and has perhaps stalled a bit but I don't think her situation is comparable to Naomi's. Coco will improve again I am sure of that and she seems to have a great team around her that will keep her grounded.
She would be happy to get Osaka’s success multiple Grand Slam champion. She still has a lot to reach that level
She had the tennis IQ and intelligence to become a top 10 very soon
8:20 aged well
Haha
They all start off having fun......doesn't last long.
Hoping to see more great tennis from her. She's well-spoken, intelligent and easy on the eyes. I'm just trying to figure what eleven people found to dislike about her. :-)
But more than 11 dislike it?
@@robovac3557 Seven more since I posted that. Now 18. What are they disliking?
@@perry801 Variety of reasons. Racism, Leylah fans, or simple jerks. Takes all sorts.
@@miketols5420 Sure does. In my opinion, people like this can't really call themselves true tennis fans. If you truly love the sport, you respect and admire the talent and skill of the best players, even if they beat your personal favorite. Tennis is, after all, a game. In a game there are always winners and losers. The players themselves respect each other and I think these misguided "fans" should learn to be more like the players they admire, otherwise, as I said, they are not true tennis fans.
@@perry801 Indeed, they should. I was just thankful the crowd for her final was split, unlike like the extremely partizan crowd was in the men's final. I found that behavior abhorrent.
That smile though
She gained a new fan here
Charisma personified.
Class act.....I see many trophies for you Young lady 🏆🏆🏆🤞🤞🤞💕💕💕
Very trendy top , I always apreciate use of colours .
Romanian
@@Charlie_Ses Are you nice to know x
She's done phenomenally well this tournament and is undoubtedly a top 10 player of the future. However at just 18 I can't see her beating Rogers in front of a full partisan Arthur Ashe crowd.
Oh well…
@@robertbutlin3708 Haha shows what I know eh?!
She plays tennis chess beter than her opponents. Thats why she does so well.! Further she has got finals qualities. She could win this whole thing.!
Wow. . . Is it just me. It is she one of the Most Beautiful tennis players I’ve ever seen. . . Wow.
Yes, up there with Kournakova and Ivanovic for sure.
And Maria Kirilenko
Easily and every picture I've seen she has no make up on she a stunner, perfect jaw and checkbones
She’s perfect.
18 and a life to go…..
A star in the making.
She's already a superstar
For the sake of argument let’s say Ash wins… hold your horses! Big opportunity now for Emma to progress.
Certainly many trophies coming her way along with the next generation of tennis players.
respect :)
The fact that the US has no young players like this--even on the horizon--is a sad commentary on the sorry state of tennis in the US.
Coco Gauf?! She's only 17, the youngest player in the top 100 - Ranked 19, higher than Raducanu or Fernandes - and a finalist in the US Open doubles.
@@rdh-daliasjb3796 NO ONE cares about doubles, that is not even real tennis. Ditto rankings. When Gauff actually wins a significant tournament, I will start believing in her. Until then, she is just overrated hype.
@@trwent Well, Kenin is not exactly old and she has a Slam to her name. Gauff will be around challenging IMHO. Best wishes from the UK.
It would be so EPIC if she eventually plays Leyla Fernandez...two Canadian born teens
Wow, impressive prediction here
I like her aggressive style looks like she can’t overpower opponents but she gets after it
There will be much inevitable envy because of how easy it came together for Emma. The hype will mark a BIG target on her back. Next year will tell us if she's multi-grandslam player or one of the many who fell to the way side after winning their first slam.
Me encanta
Raducanu will win over 4 grand slam singles titles in the future. Li na (2) Halep (2)
Whats the lottery numbers for this week?
. . . . and after the journalists assume she is playing ashley barty . . . she's playing shelby rogers!
When you love someone it’s unconditional.I don’t care that she has a boyfriend.I care about Emma and will always be in her corner.
Got it all , excellent player , beautiful, intelligent,and multi lingual, I hope her feet stay on the ground and stays fresh, oh boy such beauty
She's only 17? Sounds so mature and grounded
This beautiful babe is a real speaker. Politically correct for all of her answers to the press. Emma looks 18 but her demeanor is so mature. Hopefully, we will have a 2021 dream final between Emma and Leylah. But I think neither one of them will get past the next round. Obviously, they are very talented but being new to international competition, they caught the older ladies off-guard. Even if they can proceed deeper into this US Open, it doesn't mean they will do well in the future. This is because they are now exposed.
Emma doesn't "need" tennis, it's just what she's focused on right now. You can see it in her demeanour. This is a lady who knows how to focus her attention. She proved that by her recent A Level exam results. I suspect that her Chinese mother is a major influence in her development to date, but maybe her Romanian father or her English education are equally responsible. Maybe she was just born old :-) But she is very British in the way she portrays herself. I love her. Who or whatever may claim responsibility, the end result is the Emma we see today, a glorious woman who plays beautiful, "grunt free", tennis, and maturely deals with the press attention that her on court success attracts. She came to top flight tennis at the right time in her life. I care little if she progresses further in the US Open, but I look forward to watching her play again. Her glorious smile brightens my life :-)
She hits like Justin Hanna , the forehand is similar .
Justine Henin
A grade in mathematics in A-level exam. Very intelligent
English public exam grades have been chosen by teachers for the last two years 😂
She received a lot of support in Wimbledor for the audience. I don't know why she said that the New York people is better.
She didn't say that at all.
I think what she was saying was the Wimbledon crowd are more reserved, which is true to be fair
@@jonturner8516 Yes, she did
She also said she loved both of them
@@gerardobaltodano You need to watch and listen. She did not say "New York people is better" at all. She said she feels she's playing better tennis here, and the crowds get more involved than Wimbledon, but no where did she say the New York people is better. Its people like you that misrepresent what someone says by not listening properly.
There aren't many women who look beautiful when they make up and don't make up, Emma is one of them...the US Open is more colorful (:
She is very pretty!!
Sponsors be like Pavlov’s Dogs!
That's real beauty, no makeup all natural beauty.
She's 18 and fantastic, but somehow she's being overshadowed by Leylah Fernandez at this point
She's so pretty. Much more so than Anna Kournikova.
shes beautiful
She's representing China, Canada, Romania and England with great gusto. Multiculturalism personified.
If this girl reaches her potential, she will be a huge star.
I predict that Emma will face Shelby Rogers in the 4th round and beat her 6-2, 6-1.
You were right !
That accent and her looks….oh yeah, forgot she’s a great player too. Have to remember that.
I thought you men bully women about hitting the wall?
既にアシュリーバーティは、ロジャースと言う選手に負けている。次の相手はロジャース。両者のハイライトしか見ていないが、ラデュカヌー選手が勝つのではないかと思う。ラケットのスィングスピードが違う。その次の相手に興味が湧く。
Hoping she doesn't end up in a horrible pro-yank bear pit against Rogers. Would be pretty awful to witness.
@M It would be. I think it should be ok, I am sure the crowd will be pro-Rogers, but not too rude - its not the French Open!
@Cendrillon Daniela excellent!
Unfortunately, she will! Remember the match between Serena and Andreescu in 2019? At some point, Andreescu was covering her ears with her hands in order to withstand all the noise and the screaming! Not an easy crowd to play against! It would have been far better for Emma to play Barty. The crowd would have been on her side.
Americans love Emma , I think the crowd will be more Rogers but they won’t be rude at all
@@issyhardly511 They also loved Andreescu until the moment she played against Serena!
Intelligence😊
Finally after some years a Brit 😉
She is pretty & cute....nice product of interracial union of her parents....and smartly answering questions too..loving it
The Lara Croft of tennis
The 4 girls who standout to me as future stars in the game are: Emma Raducanu, Clara Tauson, Leylah Fernandez and Clara Burel. I think they will all be Top 10 in the next couple of years, I can see these 4 girls winning many Grandslams over the next 5 to 10 years!!! :-D
I don't know about Clara Burel.
@@lexismith8206 Why? She's only 20 and recently broke into the Top 100. She's gonna be a Top 10 player I think.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a shame she didn't stay with her coach. All the skill and confidence almost completely vanished a year later.
Both 18-year-olds, Raducanu and Fernandez, are very well-spoken in interviews. Intelligent and quick replies. No "uh", "hmm", "like".
This should be training material for Osaka on how to handle an interview!🤣
