Katie Boulter loses to Peyton Stearns in first round

Emma Raducanu produced a calm, consistent performance to reach the second round of the Miami Open for the first time with a 6-2, 6-1 victory against the Japanese wildcard Sayaka Ishii, to set up a meeting with Emma Navarro, the eighth seed.

“I was just so focused on every point and trying to compete,” Raducanu said. “That was my main objective today, just trying my best every point and bringing some energy, bringing some competitiveness. I think that’s maybe been missing in the past couple of months. I’m really proud of that. It’s just nice to win in two sets and less than two and a half hours.”
