Last week in the Indian Wells desert, Navarro lost to Donna Vekic 7-6, 6-1 in the third round after a three-set victory over Sorana Cirstea in her opening match. Raducanu fell in the first round in Tennis Paradise to Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima who went on to give world No 3 Coco Gauff a scare in the second round.

Emma Raducanu breezes into the second round of the Miami Open with a commanding straight-set win against Japanese teenager Sayaka Ishii.

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.
