Persistent work from Raducanu from the baseline, who hustles well to hold off some early ferocious hitting from Zakharova. The Russian opens up the court with a confident forehand winner.
But Raducanu responds with a sumptuous backhand winner right down the tramline, which seals a nod of approval from Mark Petchey, who is watching courtside. Raducanu directs another fierce, low backhand winner which Zakharova cannot retrieve and the Briton punches the air. The Russian then sends a forehand long to give Raducanu the early break.
