Tjen might be inexperienced at the top level but her opening round win over 24th seed Veronika Kudermetova showed she had the ability to cause problems.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old only turned professional last year after completing her sociology degree at university in the United States but has attracted attention after winning 13 titles on the entry-level ITF World Tennis Tour.<\/p>\n
Tjen’s style is reminiscent of crafty former world number one Ashleigh Barty, but Raducanu refused to allow her opponent to find her stride. <\/p>\n
Raducanu is looking to further develop her serve as a weapon under new coach Francisco Roig – and it was very effective against Tjen.<\/p>\n
She hit eight aces, landed 79% of her first serves and won 76% of those points to put Tjen on the back foot from the very start of the point.<\/p>\n
Raducanu’s power from the baseline continued to push Tjen deep in the court and prevented the Indonesian from using her slice and variety.<\/p>\n
“It always helps me when I’m serving well. It just kind of seeps into the rest of my game,” said Raducanu.<\/p>\n
While tougher tests lie ahead, starting with Rybakina, it was an impressive display and continues the upward trajectory Raducanu has forged this season.<\/p>\n
Ninth seed Rybakina beat Czech world number 96 Tereza Valentova 6-3 7-6 (9-7) in her second-round match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
