Emma Raducanu won 7-6 (3), 6-2 against Magda Linette, her highest ranked victim since her US Open title, while there were also wins for Jack Draper and Andy Murray
Jack Draper will face Andy Murray after beating Dan EvansEmma Raducanu continued to make encouraging progress at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells as she reached the third round there for the first time with a tight 7-6 , 6-2 victory over Magda Linette of Poland, the 20th seed.
Despite entering Indian Wells still recovering from tonsillitis and wrist problems, managing her body by minimising her time on the practice court, Raducanu was encouraged by a solid and resourceful performance in her straightforward first round win over Danka Kovinic.A far more capable opponent awaited in the second round.
As she searched for solutions, Raducanu found a better balance in her approach, pairing her aggression with a flurry of loopier top-spin balls that arrested Linette’s rhythm as she pulled herself back into the match. Raducanu’s controlled aggression gradually broke Linette down, and by the end of the first set the Pole looked extremely uncomfortable.
