What Raducanu said after beating Osaka

“I thought it was going to be a really difficult match. Naomi’s won four slams, she’s been world number one, won Masters,” Raducanu told Sky Sports. “She’s so dangerous and on the hard courts, I think she’s particularly comfortable.

“I knew I was going to have to play well and manage my own service games, which I’m really proud of how I did. I was making some inroads in her service game after I got used to it a little bit.

“I’m really pleased with how I handled the ball speed and conditions here in DC.”
