US Open 2021: Emma Raducanu eases into last 16, to face Shelby Rogers next
The HinduBritish teenager Emma Raducanu extended her dream run at Flushing Meadows with a stunning 6-0, 6-1 win over Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo to race into the U.S. Open last 16 on Saturday. The 18-year-old Raducanu, who burst onto the scene earlier this year by reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon in her first Grand Slam appearance, was utterly dominant against Sorribes Tormo, closing out the one-sided match in 70 minutes. The 24-year-old Sorribes Tormo, the world number 41, had no answer to the youngster's combination of power, guile and court coverage, folding meekly and managing just five winners in the face of Raducanu's relentless onslaught. Sakkari reaches fourth round Greek Maria Sakkari dismantled the defences of twice Grand Slam champion Petra Kvitova to win 6-4, 6-3 to reach the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Saturday.
