"Super important for me to get through that": Emma RADUCANU battles past Masarova and conditions at Indian Wells

Emma Raducanu is through to the second round of the 2024 Indian Wells Open where she will face Dayana Yastremska after taking down Rebeka Masarova 6-3, 6-2.

Raducanu while not at her best had a confidence boosting win after a poor display at the 2024 Qatar Open where she fell to Anhelina Kalinina in a poor loss. Blame was placed by many on her pre tournament engagements, but after a few weeks away, she is raring to go again for two WTA 1000's.

She was pleased to battle past both the wind and also a tough opponent she admitted. It is also a tournament where she stands to drop in the rankings if she doesn't do well in so an extra caveat is very much there.

"Super important I think for me to get through that. I really think it's one of the trickiest tournaments conditions-wise to play because it varies so much. I think I dealt with that really well and overcame a really tough opponent who is dangerous in these conditions.

"I really enjoy playing in America, some of my best results have been here, so I am very happy to be back here playing. I really appreciate all the love I was receiving."
