Emma Raducanu: Briton breezes past Angelique Kerber in Stuttgart Open first round

Britain's Emma Raducanu continued her revival in form with a straight-set win over Angelique Kerber in the Stuttgart Open first round.

Raducanu was rarely troubled by the former world number one and wrapped up a 6-1 6-2 win in one hour 26 minutes.

It was the 21-year-old's third win in a week after she won both her matches to help Britain beat France in the Billie Jean King Cup at the weekend.

Raducanu will play Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic in next round.

"It was very difficult to play Angie because she has so much history behind her," said Raducanu.
