Raducanu begins Roig partnership with victory against Danilovic in Cincinnati

• Raducanu eases into third round with 6-3, 6-2

• Briton will face either Sabalenka or Vondrousova next

The Francisco Roig era of Emma Raducanu's career began with a positive performance as the 30th seed defeated Olga Danilovic of Serbia 6-3, 6-2 on a sweltering day in the second round at the Cincinnati Open.

Raducanu's recent progress has been driven by her reliability against inferior opponents and she is now 19-4 against lower-ranked players over the past year. Having spent much of the past four years struggling to string together wins, she is now as match-tough as she has ever been.
