emad dianu has left John mackenro scratching his head before the US Open John mackenro has admitted he has no idea how emad dianu will far upon a return to the US Open next week the 21-year-old will face Sophia Kennan in the opening round at Flushing Meadows as she looks to repeat her title heroics from three years ago rajik kanu has played just three matches since Wimbledon having been denied wild cards at the Canadian open in Cincinnati open she skipped the Olympics before reaching the quarterfinals of the Washington open where she was beaten by Paula Bosa in the quarterfinals in an interview with tennis 365 Mack androe said that he was struggling to assess R duan's chances at the US Open given her unpredictability over the last few months sometimes I see her and it looks like she is heading back towards the top of the game and then other times I'm a bit befuddled about what's going on said the BBC pundit I'm not close to her team and what is going on but I hope she is healthy there were a couple of matches at Wimbledon and she looked really good and then in the last one she looked really shaky it's hard to know what to say about her I don't really know she is certainly in a better space and healthier than she was a year ago so that's good but I don't know where she is mentally does she have that absolute belief and commitment to win something big again or be in the top 10 that I can't say rajik kanu produced one of the great sporting stories when she became the first British woman since Virginia Wade to win the US Open in 2021 while it seems unlikely that she will be able to replicate those heroics this year stranger things have happened
