Emma Raducanu vs Marta Kostyuk: Madrid Open live stream, TV channel, UK start time, h2h

Emma Raducanu continues her clay-court season when she faces Marta Kotsyuk in the second round of the Madrid Open.

The British star reached the quarter-finals in Stuttgart, where she was beaten by the all-conquering Iga Swiatek, and she won her opening match in Madrid against Tereza Martincova as she gets used to life without a coach again.

It was a slightly uncomfortable opening set for Raducanu but she then breezed through the second to win 7-6 6-0.

Next up is a familiar foe in Ukraine’s Kostyuk, who is also 19.

The pair met a number of time as juniors before their first professional meeting at the end of last year at the Transylvania Open. Kostyuk cruised to victory that day, winning 6-2 6-1 in the quarter-finals, and Raducanu will be looking for a much better display.

“All throughout juniors she was always the favourite when we played,” Raducanu said ahead of Saturday’s match.

“She was considered much better. Yeah, it’s a funny one. When we played last year she played very good, but also I wasn’t very well that day. So it’ll be an interesting match-up.”

Date, venue and UK start time 

The round of 32 match between Emma Raducanu and Marta Kostyuk will take place on Sunday, May 1.

The action is scheduled to get underway at approximately 3.15pm GMT.
