Emma Raducanu

Raducanu beat Louisa Chirico 6-4, 6-2 at the Citi Open, with the Briton now set to face Camila Osorio in the second round.

Andrey Rublev, the top seed, eased through courtesy of a 6-4, 6-2 win over Briton Jack Draper. The 24-year-old had to remain patient in a tight first set as six break points came and went before he converted the seventh to take a 5-4 lead, and he duly obliged on serve to cement his advantage. However, the respite proved temporary with Evans clinching victory in 62 minutes at the second time of asking. I had a bit of a blip at the end, but I thought I didn’t do much wrong. Raducanu’s singles win came one day after after her professional doubles debut alongside fellow teenager Clara Tauson ended with a straight-sets loss in the US capital. “It definitely feels really good to get a win here in DC,” she said in her post-match press conference. Chirico, an American qualifier, came undone with 42 unforced errors to Raducanu’s 18, while the British world number 10 won 76 per cent of her first and second serves.
