Emma Raducanu Secures First Miami Open Win After Stalking Ordeal

Raducanu defeats Sayaka Ishii 6-2, 6-1 to advance to the second round, while continuing her search for a permanent coach.

Emma Raducanu earned her first Miami Open victory, defeating Japanese wildcard Sayaka Ishii in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1.
This win marks Raducanu's first match victory since a traumatic stalking incident in Dubai last month.
Raducanu showcased improved serving and tactical execution, winning 77% of her first-serve points and converting five of six break points.
She recently ended her trial with coach Vladimir Platenik after 14 days, citing a lack of alignment in their collaboration.
Raducanu will face eighth seed Emma Navarro in the second round, a challenging matchup against an in-form opponent.
