Emma Raducanu and Serena Williams fans are furious after the blockbuster clash between the duo was rescheduled.
Newsonline report that Raducanu and Williams were supposed to go head-to-head in their Cincinnati Masters first round match on Monday, but the encounter will now take place a day later.
A star-studded line-up will battle for honours in Ohio as players look to hit form ahead of the US Open, which gets underway later this month. And Raducanu’s clash with Williams is the pick of the first round.
Raducanu became an overnight sensation last year when she won the US Open at the age of 18. The youngster cruised through three qualifying matches before winning the New York tournament without dropping a single set.
