British number one Emma Raducanu enjoyed her first victory since an early exit from the Australian Open – and subsequent split from coach Francis Roig.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old dominated German Greet Minnen with a 6-0 6-4 success at the Winners Open in Romania.<\/p>\n

Raducanu, the tournament’s top seed, sent down three aces and forced four breaks of serve across the 70 minutes of play.<\/p>\n

She will next face Slovenia’s Kaja Juvan on Wednesday in the second round of the WTA 250 event.<\/p>\n

The 2021 US Open champion was knocked out of the Australian Open in the second round last month after a disappointing 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 defeat by Anastasia Potapova<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That was followed by the end of her partnership with Spanish coach Roig<\/a>, which left Raducanu searching for a 10th coach of her career.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, fellow Briton Sonay Kartal booked her place in the last 16 of the Abu Dhabi Open with a 6-3 7-6 (10-8) victory over Spain’s Cristina Bucsa.<\/p>\n

She will next face Switzerland’s top seed Belinda Bencic on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
