Emma Raducanu begins her Miami Open campaign against Bianca Andreescu as the opening round begins on Tuesday.

The British No 1 has been handed a tough draw against the fellow US Open champion, with Canadian Andreescu also winning the grand slam as an unheralded teenager in 2019.

It could get even tougher in the second round with the seventh seed Maria Sakkari scheduled to play the winner.

Raducanu is hoping to build on a positive run at Indian Wells, where the 20-year-old secured some of her best victories since her US Open win before defeat to world number one Iga Swiatek in the fourth round.
