Raducanu sweeps into third round

EMMA Raducanu swept aside inform qualifier Janice Tjen to reach the third round of the US Open.

- 

If anyone knows the danger of qualifiers, it is Raducanu, who famously became the only one to win a grand slam title here four years ago - a feat that inspired Indonesian trailblazer Tjen.

The 23-year-old must wait for another opportunity to try to make her mark, though, after being crushed 6-2 6-1 by Raducanu in exactly an hour on Louis Armstrong Stadium.

It was even swifter than her first-round victory over another qualifier, Ena Shibahara, which had been her fastest grand slam win.

"I'm very pleased with how I played," said Raducanu.
