- Djokovic wins 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 to launch bid for history
- Top seed Barty overcomes scare against game Zvonareva
- Raducanu shrugs off late nerves to reach second round
It took no fewer than seven match points but Emma Raducanu is finally through to the second round after a 6-2, 6-3 win over Stefanie Voegele of Switzerland. The rising British star took control with a break of serve in the eighth game of the second set, followed by a marathon 18-point hold to nail down her first main-draw win at an overseas grand slam.
The 18-year-old Raducanu, who was born in Toronto and resides in London, becomes the first British teenager to win a main-draw US Open match since Laura Robson. Next up: a second-round meeting with China’s Zhang Shuai.
