Raducanu beats Osaka but Norrie & Evans lose in DC

Britain's Emma Raducana is through to the quarter-finals of the Washington Open after beating four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka in straight sets. After previously upsetting Ukranian seventh seed Marta Kostyuk in round one, England's Raducanu produced a dominant performance to beat former world number one Osaka 6-4 6-2. The 2021 US Open women's singles champion will face wildcard Maria Sakkari in the last eight after the Greek player knocked out American second seed Emma Navarro. However, in the men's singles, Britons Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans were eliminated in the last 16. British number two Norrie lost to 14th seed Brandon Nakashima 7-6 (7-3) 6-3. After a tight first set which was decided by a tie-break, American Nakashima twice broke Norrie's serve in the second to reach the quarter-finals. Evans, who won the tournament in 2023, fought back from 5-3 down and saved a match point to force a tie-break in the second set against Corentin Moutet but the Frenchman prevailed in straight sets, winning 6-2 7-6 (7-4). Raducanu, the British number three, won the first set in 38 minutes after successfully converting her only break point in the fifth game. She then immediately broke Osaka's serve at the beginning of the second set and after saving a break point in the fourth game, broke her serve for a second time to take a 4-1 lead. With Japan's Osaka serving to stay in the match, Raducanu could not convert her first match point in the seventh game. But after spurning a second match point and saving a break point, Raducanu completed the victory at the third attempt, winning the second set 6-2. Raducanu is due to be in women's doubles action later on Thursday, partnering Elena Rybakina against Giuliana Olmos and Aldila Sutjiadi in the quarter-finals.

Emma Raducanu beats Naomi Osaka at the DC Open to win their first matchup

WASHINGTON (AP) — Emma Raducanu dominated her first career matchup against Naomi Osaka, winning the showdown at the D.C. Open on Thursday between past U.S. Open champions 6-4, 6-2. Raducanu, the only qualifier to claim a Grand Slam title when she did that in New York in 2021, saved the only two break points she faced and managed to break the big-serving Osaka three times. Osaka was hurt by seven double-faults. She won the U.S. Open and Australian Open twice each. Raducanu, who is ranked 46th, will face Maria Sakkari in the quarterfinals. Sakkari eliminated No. 2 seed Emma Navarro on Wednesday. Venus Williams , the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion back on tour at age 45, was scheduled to face Magdalena Frech at night. Winners in men's action Thursday at the hard-court tournament in Washington included No. 8 seed Daniil Medvedev and No. 14 seed Brandon Nakashima. ___ AP tennis:
