Briton produces calm display in 6-2, 6-1 victoryRaducanu faces Emma Navarro in second round
Emma Raducanu began her time on the east coast of the US on a positive note as she produced a calm, consistent performance to reach the second round of the Miami Open for the first time with a 6-2, 6-1 win over the Japanese wildcard Sayaka Ishii. Her victory sets up a second-round match against Emma Navarro, the eighth seed.
“I was just so focused on every point and trying to compete,” said Raducanu. “That was my main objective today, just trying my best every point and bringing some energy, bringing some competitiveness. I think that’s maybe been missing in the past couple of months. I’m really proud of that. It’s just nice to win in two sets and less than two and a half hours.”
