Former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu barely broke a sweat as she brushed aside Japanese wild card Sayaka Ishii 6-2 6-1 on Wednesday to reach the second round of the Miami Open.

Raducanu is the last British woman standing in the tournament after Katie Boulter was beaten 6-4 6-2 by American Peyton Stearns. Boulter asserted herself with a 3-1 first-set lead before Stearns adjusted to pick up four straight games and lead 5-3.

Emma Raducanu spoke highly of Emma Navarro's game and acknowledged the American will enter their Miami match in a better form before also dropping some major praise on the 2024 US Open semifinalist's personality.
