Emma Raducanu made it through to the third round at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells after her opponent Dayana Yastremska retired injured.<\/p>\n

The victory ensured back-to-back wins for the former US Open champion for the first time since Indian Wells last year.<\/p>\n

Raducanu stormed into a 4-0 lead before 30th seed Yastremska pulled up in pain at the back of the court. After receiving medical treatment the Australian Open semi-finalist was forced to retire.<\/p>\n

It means the 21-year-old will play Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka or Peyton Stearns in the third round on Monday, live on Sky Sports Tennis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Raducanu had made a flying start and led 4-0 in the opening set when the Ukrainian 30th seed appeared to suffer an abdominal injury.<\/p>\n

She immediately called for the physio but could not carry on, handing the Briton the win.<\/p>\n

Raducanu may well have been victorious anyway had the match lasted the course as she looked impressive in the play that was possible.<\/p>\n

She broke Yastremska’s serve in the opening game with a sublime drop shot and then showed grit to save a break point in her first service game.<\/p>\n

A second break came courtesy of a strong backhand before a routine service hold put her in control.<\/p>\n

It was in that game that Raducanu won to love that Yastremska suffered the injury and it forced a second retirement against the former US Open champion in two meetings.<\/p>\n

Raducanu now looks set to meet second-seed Sabalenka in the third round, which will test exactly where she is in her comeback from an injury-ravaged 2023.<\/p>\n

Here’s the moment Cameron Norrie made it through to the third round of the unofficial fifth major in the Californian desert<\/span>

British No 1 Cameron Norrie <\/strong>dispatched Lorenzo Sonego 6-4 6-4 to advance to the third round in California after 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

“I missed a couple of balls and he started playing a little bit better,” Norrie said of his final service game, in which he trailed 0-30.<\/p>\n

“I missed two first balls that I should make and I was down 0-30 and I was like, ‘Wow.’ I didn’t do anything that special, just made a lot of first serves. Fortunate to be through.”<\/p>\n

Miles Maclagan on Sky Sports Tennis<\/em><\/p>\n

“There’s certainly room for improvement. His attitude and energy is always good which can then allow his performance to grow,” he said of Norrie’s performance.<\/p>\n

“Getting through to the next round is key. He’s lacking a bit of confidence right now, he’s giving away more unforced errors and his game is about giving his opponent absolutely nothing and there were a few opportunities that he wouldn’t have wanted to give Sonego.<\/p>\n

“Those things improve as the wins come.”<\/p>\n

Norrie, the 2021 champion here, will next face eighth seed Hubert Hurkacz or Gael Monfils for a spot in the last 16.<\/p>\n
