How did Emma Raducanu win her first match at Indian Wells? 

Raducanu has been trying to make a successful comeback. However, she has been unable to do that multiple times. And this has affected public opinion about her seriousness with respect to the sport. However, this time, her win during the first-round match at Indian Wells and her attitude throughout it shows something else.
