Britain's Emma Raducanu overcame a potential banana skin as she clinically beat Indonesian qualifier Janice Tjen to reach the US Open third round.

Strong serving and consistently deep groundstrokes were key as Raducanu registered a 6-2 6-1 victory in exactly 60 minutes.

The only real moment of concern for the 2021 US Open champion was when she appeared to be bothered by a back niggle in the second set.
