EMMA Raducanu will reclaim the British number one ranking after winning her first meeting with four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka in confident fashion.

The clash was hotly anticipated but proved to be not that much of a contest, with Raducanu comfortably clinching a 6-4 6-2 victory to reach the quarterfinals of the Citi Open in Washington.

Raducanu said: “I thought it was going to be a really difficult match. Naomi’s won four slams, she's been world number one, won Masters.
