Overview

  • The 2021 champion needed exactly 60 minutes on Louis Armstrong Stadium to advance with a 6-2, 6-1 result over the Indonesian qualifier.
  • Raducanu’s performance included 16 winners, eight aces and no double faults, reflecting sharp serving and clean baseline aggression.
  • Tjen had entered on the back of upsetting No 24 seed Veronika Kudermetova and was the first Indonesian in over 20 years to win a Grand Slam singles match.
  • Live rankings moved Raducanu into the mid-30s provisionally, with a top-30 return within reach if she wins her next match.
  • Her third-round opponent will be ninth seed Elena Rybakina or Czech teenager Tereza Valentova, a step up that will gauge the Briton’s current level.
