- Briton into third round at Madrid Open after 6-2, 6-1 victory
- Jack Draper and Dan Evans win their first-round matches
The positive momentum established by Emma Raducanu in recent weeks now appears to be growing steadily. In the second showdown of a budding generational rivalry, Raducanu produced her very best performance since the US Open by eviscerating her fellow 19-year-old Marta Kostyuk 6-2, 6-1 to reach the third round of the Madrid Open.
The victory marks just the second time that Raducanu has won consecutive matches this season, which she has achieved in successive tournaments in her first professional forays on clay. “I’m definitely very happy with my performance today,” she said.
