Emma Raducanu blitzes Canadian Open rival to set showdown with Wimbledon runner-up | Tennis | Sport

Emma Raducanu stormed past No. 32 seed Peyton Stearns to set up a mouthwatering contest with Amanda Anisimova in Montreal. The Brit needed just 95 minutes to get past Stearns on Wednesday afternoon, recovering from an early break deficit in the second set to win 6-2 6-4.

She will now face No. 5 seed Anisimova, who is playing her first tournament since reaching a maiden Grand Slam final at Wimbledon. Raducanu and Anisimova are good friends, and the current world No. 33 has won both matches they’ve played this year.
