- Briton beats Czech 7-6 (3), 6-0 in Madrid Open
- Raducanu wins first match since split with coach
After days of more talk following her all around the grounds of Madrid, this time about the merits of her unusual perspective to coaching in light of her decision to part ways with her coach Torben Beltz after five months, Emma Raducanu’s clay-court education resumed with an excellent win on her Madrid Open debut.
Having trailed 2-5 in the opening set while twice standing one point away from relinquishing it, Raducanu showcased her adaptability and mental fortitude as she methodically turned the match on its head to defeat Tereza Martincova 7-6, 6-0 and reach the second round.
