Raducanu still 'finding feet' but wins again on clay

Emma Raducanu demonstrated her growing confidence on a clay court with a commanding Italian Open second-round win over Swiss lucky loser Jil Teichmann.

British number two Raducanu, who only knew she was facing Teichmann a few hours before the match, progressed with a clinical 6-2 6-2 win.

After earning her first win on outdoor clay in almost three years at the Madrid Open, she has now won back-to-back matches in Rome.

It is the first time Raducanu has reached the last 32 in the Italian capital - although tougher tests than 94th-ranked Teichmann await.
