Emma Raducanu emphatically surges past Indonesian qualifier Janice Tjen into US Open third round in just an hour

After not winning since her epic US Open triumph back in 2021, Emma Raducanu now has two wins in a row as she perhaps got the easier of the two ties she could've got against Janice Tjen.

But while the Indonesian qualifier isn't of the calibre of Veronika Kudermetova who was set likely to play Raducanu, she had got matches under her belt and has been a superb ITF player this season. Also is unknown to Raducanu so perhaps was going to pose some problems.

But it was a destructive display from the Brit as she eased through in just one hour 6-2, 6-1. Next up for her is the winner of Elena Rybakina or young Czech star Tereza Valentova to get into the fourth round. If she manages to get through that the draw semi opens up as McCartney Kessler or Marketa Vondrousova or Jasmine Paolini/Iva Jovic would await her.

Back with a new coach at Flushing Meadows but very much thriving, Emma Raducanu could be tough to beat on hallowed ground playing the tennis of her life for the first time since her shock run.
