Emma Raducanu<\/a> is through to the third round of the Cincinnati Open after a straight-sets win over Olga Danilovic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The British number one marked her first match since Rafael Nadal’s former coach Francis Roig joined her team with a confident 6-3, 6-2 victory.<\/p>\n

Roig may not have been overly impressed when Raducanu was broken to love in the first game, but the 2021 US Open champion responded well.<\/p>\n

After four breaks of serve between the pair in the opening six games, Raducanu came from 30-0 down to grab another for 5-3.<\/p>\n

She had won seven points in a row to bring up three set points and took the first with an ace.<\/p>\n

In the second, Raducanu gave her Serbian opponent nothing for free, drawing out errors and eventually earning a break for 3-2.<\/p>\n

She did not drop another game, wrapping up a fine victory in an hour and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old could face world number one Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> in the third round in a repeat of her narrow Wimbledon defeat last month.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek<\/a> eased through with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Anastasia Potapova<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Australian Open champion Madison Keys<\/a> saved two match points before beating Eva Lys<\/a> 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (1).<\/p>\n

In the ATP draw Jannik Sinner<\/a>, playing his first match since claiming a maiden Wimbledon title, dismantled Daniel Elahi Galan<\/a> 6-1, 6-1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Raducanu is through to the third round of the Cincinnati Open after a straight-sets win over Olga…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57590,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-57589","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
