"I only think of pressure when I'm in my press conference because every single question is about pressure" - says Emma Raducanu

| by Drew Tate

Emma Raducanu once again got asked about pressure and the Brit once again reiterated that she doesn't think about pressure.

Emma Raducanu created headlines at Wimbledon when she fiercely brushed off reports suggesting that she caved under the pressure at Wimbledon. She was adamant that she doesn't feel any pressure suggesting that players who never won a major feel the pressure. She won a major at 19 so there is no pressure.

It's certainly a fair point but it's highly unlikely that Raducanu doesn't feel any pressure, especially with the US Open coming up. She was asked once again about pressure and she once again shut it down:

US Open considered banning Russians and Belarusians but opted for charity match with Nadal, Swiatek and Azarenka

"I feel the pressure or only think about it when I'm in my press conference because every single question is about pressure. So all the pressure I get is from you guys."

Raducanu insisted she is very excited about getting back to New York because her fondest tennis memory happened there as well as the city being quite enjoyable for her as well:

"I love New York as a place, as a city, as a tournament. I love everything about it. I'm really looking forward to being there again."
