"I'm happy with my performance" - Raducanu after 2nd win in Madrid

Emma Raducanu rolled to a second round win over longtime junior rival Marta Kostyuk to reach Round 3 at the Mutua Madrid Open 6-2 6-1.

Having won back-to-back matches just once in the six months following her US Open triumph last summer, Raducanu has now done so twice in as many weeks this clay-court season. The pair met for the first time as professionals just six months ago in the quarterfinals of the Transylvania Open. Kostyuk was victorious that day with the loss of just three games, but Raducanu flipped the script in Madrid.

Speaking after the match, Raducanu said:

"I'm definitely very happy with my performance today. Marta is a great opponent, we played several times in the juniors and then once last year. I knew it was always going to be a really tough battle so I went out there trying to be really aggressive and it definitely paid off."
