Britain's Emma Raducanu says she is starting to "embrace expectation" after avoiding a potential banana skin with a clinical US Open win over Indonesian qualifier Janice Tjen.

Raducanu, 22, oozed confidence in a 6-2 6-1 victory which took exactly an hour to secure.

Strong serving and consistently deep groundstrokes were the key for the world number 36, who has won eight of her 11 matches since Wimbledon.
