Britain's Emma Raducanu continued her revival in form with a straight-set win over Angelique Kerber in the Stuttgart Open first round.
Both players entered the tournament as wildcards, with Raducanu dropping to 303 in the world after having surgery on both wrists last year. Kerber, 36, was able to break back immediately but then began to tire and an increasingly confident Raducanu was able to reel off four consecutive games to seal victory.Earlier on Wednesday, American world number three Coco Gauff overcame an error-strewn display to beat fellow American Sachia Vickery 6-3 4-6 7-5.
Two-time Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur snapped a five-match losing win by beating Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova 2-6 6-3 7-6 .
