What a statement win for Emma Raducanu on Saturday afternoon. The 18-year-old from Great Britain took Sara Sorribes Tormo to the woodshed with an absolutely flawless 6-0, 6-1, victory that lasted just over an hour. Raducanu won a whopping 65 percent of total points and never once faced a break point.

This dominant victory, while surprising, did not come from nowhere. Raducanu stormed through her first five matches including qualifying without dropping a set, and hasn’t even been pushed to a tiebreak.

Raducanu will next face the winner of world no. 1 Ash Barty and Shelby Rogers.
