Raducanu breezes into second round of Miami Open

Emma Raducanu breezed into the second round of the Miami Open with a commanding straight-set win against Japanese teenager Sayaka Ishii.

The British number two took just over an hour to progress 6-2 6-1 and will next face American eighth seed Emma Navarro.

Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, lost in the first round of Indian Wells earlier this month in what was her first match since the traumatic experience of dealing with a stalker at a tournament in Dubai.

This is also her first proper event with new coach Vladimir Platenik and the partnership is off to a promising start.
