Andy Murray wins but Emma Raducanu crashes out in Sydney International

Great Britain's Andy Murray comfortably advanced to the second round of the Sydney International on Tuesday, but Emma Raducanu suffered a dampening defeat.

Having been handed a wildcard entry into the Australian Open warm-up tournament, Murray met Norwegian qualifier Viktor Durasovic and dominated proceedings from the off.

The three-time Grand Slam winner eased to a 6-3 6-1 victory over Durasovic in the first round, with second seed Nikoloz Basilashvili now lying in wait for Murray in round two.

However, it was a different story entirely for Raducanu, who once again struggled to translate her US Open glory to success on the WTA Tour as Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina stormed to victory.

The ever-powerful Rybakina served Raducanu a bagel in the first set and lost just one game in the match, taking a 6-0 6-1 victory to set up a second-round meeting with France's Caroline Garcia.

Raducanu will now turn her focus to her Australian Open debut in a week's time, while Murray will represent GB in the second round at the Sydney International alongside Dan Evans, who faces Spain's Pedro Martinez on Wednesday morning.
