Raducanu reaches third round in Montreal

Emma Raducanu continued to build momentum before next month's US Open with a straight-set win over American Peyton Stearns at the Canadian Open.

British number one Raducanu, a shock champion at the New York slam in 2021, progressed to the third round 6-2 6-4.

The 22-year-old has won five of her six matches during the North American summer hard-court swing, after reaching the Washington Open last week.

She will next play Wimbledon runner-up Amanda Anisimova, after the American fifth seed defeated New Zealand's Lulu Sun 6-4 7-6 (7-5).

World number 33 Raducanu proved too strong for 32nd seed Stearns and has now won all three meetings against her.
