Emma Raducanu romped to a straight-sets victory over Olga Danilovic to book her spot in the last 32 of the Cincinnati Open.

The British No 1 marked her first match since Rafael Nadal’s former coach Francis Roig joined her team with a confident 6-3 6-2 win.

Roig may not have been overly impressed when Raducanu was broken to love in the first game, but the 2021 US Open champion responded well.

After four breaks of serve between the pair in the opening six games, Raducanu came from 30-0 down to grab another for 5-3 in the first set.

She won seven points in a row to bring up three set points and took the first with an ace.

In the second set, Raducanu gave her Serb opponent nothing for free, drawing out errors and eventually earning a break for 3-2.

She did not drop another game, wrapping up a fine victory in an hour and 20 minutes.

The 22-year-old will face world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the third round. The pair last met in the third round at Wimbledon with Sabalenka prevailing 7-6 6-4.

Sabalenka set up the rematch after repelling an early challenge from Marketa Vondrousova en route to a 7-5 6-1 win.
