Emma Raducanu [2] def. Louisa Chirico 6-4 6-2

British No. 1 Emma Raducanu started her US autumn swing with a win over American qualifier Louisa Chirico. The No. 2 seed had not played since a second-round exit in Wimbledon, but she is working now with Russian coach Dmitri Tursunov and started the collaboration with a win.

While Chirico had the benefit of a couple of rounds of qualifying under her belt, she couldn’t halt the run of unforced errors, despite being more than capable to go toe-to-toe with the Brit in terms of winners, hitting five more than Raducanu overall.

Playing Styles & Prediction

Osorio snapped a five-match losing streak going back to Roland Garros when she defeated Sofia Kenin in her opening round in Washington. The Colombian grew up on clay and is perfectly happy using the slower conditions to mix things up to catch her opponents off guard. She likes to use a backhand slice and moves around the court well.

Raducanu has a little more power to her game and will look to dominate but will need to have her court smarts about her.

Prediction: Raducanu in straight sets
