raducanu earns first post US Open victory.
Emma Raducanu marched to her first win since the US Open as she overcame Polona Hercog in the first round of the Transylvania Open.
The 18-year-old took part in the Indian Wells Masters earlier this month following her historic Grand Slam win, but after receiving a bye to the second round, she was sent packing by Aliaksandra Sasnovich.
However, Raducanu – whose father is from Bucharest – sought to consign that momentum-killing defeat to history as she defeated Hercog of Slovenia in three sets to move to round two.

Raducanu claimed a 4-6 7-5 6-1 triumph on the night and would proceed to express her pride at playing in her father’s homeland during her post-match interview, during which she demonstrated her Romanian language skills.
The Briton is now set to face Ana Bogdan of Romania in Thursday’s second-round battle for a spot in the quarter-finals against either Mona Barthel or Marta Kostyuk.
