World number 31 Raducanu, the 30th seed, managed only 16 winners to Bucsa’s 28, but maintained the upper hand in the key exchanges.<\/p>\n
She saved six break points in a competitive first set before winning the final two games to seemingly take charge of the match.<\/p>\n
Raducanu won the opening two games of the second but, after missing the chance to go 3-0 up, was pegged back as Bucsa finally broke serve to draw level at 2-2.<\/p>\n
She broke back immediately and won four of the final five games.<\/p>\n
Raducanu, who had a bye in the first round, was playing for the first time since losing to Barbora Krejcikova<\/a> in the quarter-finals of the Korea Open this month, when she missed three match points.<\/p>\n “I’m very happy to have gotten over it and after a tough one last week to bounce back,” said Raducanu, before impressing the crowd by speaking Mandarin.<\/p>\n “I really want to do well here. I’m half-Chinese so it’s great to come back.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
