Emma Raducanu delivered a dominant performance at the US Open, sweeping aside in-form qualifier Janice Tjen to secure her place in the third round. Raducanu, who famously lifted the Grand Slam title here four years ago as a qualifier herself – a feat that inspired her Indonesian opponent – demonstrated her prowess on Louis Armstrong Stadium.
The 23-year-old Tjen's hopes of making her mark were swiftly extinguished, as Raducanu crushed her 6-2, 6-1 in precisely an hour. This victory proved even quicker than Raducanu's first-round win against another qualifier, Ena Shibahara, which had previously been her fastest Grand Slam triumph.
