In other news, Martina Navratilova also heaped praise on Emma Raducanu's performance in her opening round match at the US Open. Navratilova reckoned that the 2021 US Open champion was "light on her feet" before going on to explain that Raducanu's forward and sideways movement impressed her.

The 18-time singles Grand Slam champion also pointed out that the Brit was not pushed for the most part during her opening-round encounter but managed to come through admirably when she was.

"I was really impressed with her footwork. It’s always been good but she was so light on her feet. She moved beautifully forward as well as sideways and was always on her front foot. It was really impressive all the way round. She was not pushed and when she was pushed in those games she came through it,” she stated on Sky Sports.

Emma Raducanu got past Ena Shibahara 6-1, 6-2 in the first round of the New York Major on Sunday, August 24.

Raducanu, who has struggled with her form and fitness since her stunning title win at the 2021 US Open, appears to be regaining lost ground. She will be up against Janice Tjen of Indonesia next up with the second-round encounter to be played on Wednesday, August 27.

Martina Navratilova, who retired from the game, in 2006 continues to be active on social media while also essaying the role of a commentator and tennis expert.
