Emma Raducanu off to impressive start at Indian Wells with confident win

• Raducanu beats Spaniard Rebeka Masarova 6-2, 6-3
• Briton plays patiently to set up match with Dayana Yastremska

Emma Raducanu moved into the second round of Indian Wells with a composed performance and no significant problems, confidently closing out a 6-2, 6-3 win over the qualifier Rebeka Masarova. A much tougher battle against Dayana Yastremska, the 30th seed, awaits Raducanu on Saturday.

Super important for me to get through that. It's one of the trickiest tournaments conditions-wise because it varies so much. I dealt with that really well and overcame a really tough opponent who is dangerous in these conditions," Raducanu told Sky Sports Tennis, referencing the notoriously slow, high-bouncing and windy conditions in the desert.
