British singles players exit the US Open after second round losses

No British tennis players remain in the US Open singles brackets following the conclusion of the second round. British number one Katie Boulter ended her tournament after a 6-1, 6-0 loss to Karolina Muchova. This result marks the fourth time in five Grand Slam tournaments that no British players have reached the second week. Despite the early exits in New York, LTA officials noted that nine Britons competed in the main draw, the highest number since 1981. The organization pointed to Arthur Fery’s semifinal run at Wimbledon and the presence of five men in the top 100 as indicators of progress within their talent pathway. Players such as Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper missed this event due to injury, contributing to an ongoing period where British athletes have faced a high frequency of fitness issues.
