Raducanu cruises to victory over Ishii in Miami Open first round

Great Britain's Emma Raducanu cruised to a 6-2 6-1 victory over Japan's wildcard Sayaka Ishii in the first round of the Miami Open on Wednesday.
Raducanu dominated the first set with Ishii only managing to claim two games, before the Brit raced to a 5-1 lead in the second set with her opponent going long on match point as she served out victory.
It is Raducanu's first victory in Miami and she will face the tournament's eighth-seed Emma Navarro in the second round.
Raducanu's victory over Ishii saw her improve on disappointment at Indian Wells in her previous tournament appearance, a first-round straight-sets defeat by Moyuka Uchijima.
