It was Raducanu's fifth Tour-level event since making her WTA Tour debut in June.<\/p>\n

Sasnovich, a 27-year-old from Belarus ranked 100th in the world, reached the doubles semifinals last month at the US Open while Raducanu was completing a stunning run from qualifier to champion at age 18.<\/a><\/p>\n

"Emma just won the US Open and I lost there in the first round," Sasnovich said, "so it was a little bit different."<\/p>\n

Raducanu rallied in the second set, taking a 4-2 lead.<\/p>\n

But Sasnovich broke for a fifth time and led 5-4 before serving out the match. Sasnovich won 53 per cent of her second serves to just 29 per cent for Raducanu.<\/p>\n

"I'm still so new to everything," Raducanu said. "The experiences that I'm going through right now, even though I might not feel 100 per cent amazing right now, I know they're for the greater good."<\/p>\n

Sasnovich advanced to play No.11 seed Simona Halep in the third round. Halep beat Marta Kostyuk 7-6 (2), 6-1.<\/p>\n
