- British No 1 thrashes former grand slam winner 6-0, 6-2
- Raducanu had beaten Serena Williams in previous round
As Emma Raducanu wrapped up her media obligations close to 10pm here on Tuesday night, still digesting all that she had experienced that evening, she faced another one of the learning experiences that have characterised her past year.
After the euphoria and adrenaline of snuffing out Serena Williams before her thunderous home crowd, Raducanu was charged with forgetting it all and quickly moving on, another former No 1 waiting for a shot at her the next day. She handled the challenge with supreme, startling ease, following up her dismantling of Williams with an even more destructive performance.
