U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu eased into the Transylvania Open quarter-finals with a controlled 6-3 6-4 win over home favourite Ana Bogdan in the second round on Thursday.

Raducanu followed up her maiden WTA Tour win over Polona Hercog — a battling three-set victory on Tuesday — with a much improved performance against Bogdan and looked steady on serve, winning 87.5% of her first serve points.

“It was so good to play a Romanian here. All the volunteers who go into making this tournament possible, we really appreciate their support. Ana was a great opponent,” Raducanu said after the match.
