Emma Raducanu sees off Korpatsch to set up Stuttgart clash with Iga Swiatek
The Guardian says Emma Raducanu defeated Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 in Stuttgart to set up a quarter-final clash with the world No 1, Iga Swiatek, at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.
The US Open champion started and finished strongly against lucky loser Korpatsch in her first WTA Tour event on clay, securing victory in back-to-back matches for the first time since the Transylvania Open in Romania last October.
The 19-year-old has played a series of long, close matches this season so it would have been a relief to win comfortably against Storm Sanders in round one. And Raducanu picked up where she left off against Korpatsch, dropping just seven points in a one-sided first set.
