Raducanu begins Roig partnership with victory against Danilovic in Cincinnati

Emma Raducanu, the 30th seed, began her partnership with coach Francisco Roig with a victory against Olga Danilovic of Serbia in the second round of the Cincinnati Open. Raducanu won the match 6-3, 6-2 on a hot day. The win extends Raducanu's impressive record against lower-ranked players, with the Briton now 19-4 in such matches over the past year. The victory sets up a third-round clash against either Aryna Sabalenka or Marketa Vondrousova. Raducanu's recent progress has been driven by her consistency and reliability against opponents ranked below her, a significant improvement from the struggles she faced in stringing together wins earlier in her career.
