Radacanu's US open win lifts sport in reading the nation (w.e. 12th Sep)

This week's Reading the Nation, for the 7 days to 12th September, focuses on Sport as Emma Raducanu’s historic US Open tennis championship victory lifted engagement with the category.

Thanks to our reach of over 99% of the UK’s online population, Ozone’s single user view of content consumption provides unrivalled insights to the stories that matter to our readers all across the UK.

Among this week’s notable sports category insights, we have seen:

  • Raducanu’s route to US Open glory saw a record 6.9m weekly tennis page views last week. Sport page views on Sunday grew +29% on the prior day (a +107% higher growth rate than the prior Sun vs. Sat)

  • Interest in the Beckenham teen’s first major grand slam victory was in fact so intense that it eclipsed engagement with Wimbledon, with tennis page views +35% higher last week than across Wimbledon fortnight

  • Almost a quarter (24%) of our total sport audience last week were reading our tennis content, which is +213% higher than our average weekly tennis audience since March (including Wimbledon)
