Murray says Raducanu's defeat at Indian Wells a 'little bump'

Emma Raducanu's defeat in her first match since winning the U.S. Open was a "little bump", fellow Briton Andy Murray said, backing the 18-year-old to deal with expectations and disappointment in a mature way.

Qualifier Raducanu did not drop a set in 10 matches en route to the title at Flushing Meadows last month but lost 6-2 6-4 on Friday to Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the second round of the Indian Wells tournament in California.

"What happened in New York was obviously incredible but in tennis and sport it doesn't just go in an upwards direction all the time," former world number one Murray told reporters.
