In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Emma Raducanu stormed into the second round of the Miami Open by defeating Sayaka Ishii 6-2 6-1. The former U.S. Open champion secured 77% of her first-serve points, highlighting her serve's effectiveness and overshadowing her previous early exit at Indian Wells.
