Emma Raducanu eases through at Italian Open but Cameron Norrie and Sonay Kartal fall
Emma Raducanu breezed into the third round of the Italian Open with a ruthless 6-2 6-2 victory over surprise opponent Jil Teichmann.
Raducanu had been preparing to face 21st seed Ekaterina Alexandrova but was handed a new challenge when the Russian withdrew with a shoulder injury.
Although ranked 94th in the world she has been as high as 21 in the past but could not match Raducanu’s power and tempo in a one-sided contest that saw the former US Open champion break twice in each set and hold her own increasingly impressive serve throughout.
