Emma Raducanu v Peyton Stearns: Start time, TV channel and how to watch National Bank Open online

Independent2 days ago
Emma Raducanu will bid to continue her strong hard-court form as the British No 1 takes on Peyton Stearns at the National Bank Open.
A run to the semi-finals of the Citi Open in Washington DC last week saw Raducanu vault above Katie Boulter as the highest Briton in the WTA rankings, and the 22-year-old is off to a good start in Montreal, too.
Raducanu progressed past Elena-Gabriela Ruse in hot and humid conditions to reach the second round, with her serve again in fine working order.
Stearns will pose a challenge, though - the American was a quarter-finalist in Montreal last year, though has lost both previous meetings between the pair.
Here's everything you need to know.
When is Emma Raducanu vs Peyton Stearns?
The second round match is the fourth scheduled on Rogers Court on Wednesday 30 July at the National Bank Open, and will not commence before 11pm BST (6pm local time). It precedes an encounter between Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova and Lulu Sun.
How can I watch it?
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the WTA Tour event live on Sky Sports. A live stream will be available via Sky Go and NOW.

Lottie Woad five shots off pace after AIG Women's Open first round

Surrey sensation Woad carded a level-par 72 at a blustery Royal Porthcawl on a day the 21-year-old sensation was under huge scrutiny and Mimi Rhodes shot 69 to finish as the top English player. Woad entered the final major of the year as tournament favourite, despite this being only her second event as a professional. England's Lottie Woad is five shots off the lead after the opening day at Royal Porthcawl (Nigel French/PA) She had won her first at the Women's Scottish Open last weekend, a remarkable success coming on the back of victory at the Irish Open and a tied-third finish in The Evian Championship in her final weeks as an amateur. Woad, playing alongside the last two Open champions Lydia Ko and Lillia Vu, drew large galleries on the South Wales links and showed battling qualities despite not playing her best golf. Ko signed for a 73 and Vu 74 as Woad had 10 pars, four birdies and four bogeys in tough conditions. Woad drained a 20-foot putt to birdie the opening hole, but found a greenside bunker at the third and dropped a shot after failing to keep her chip on the green. Another shot went at the fifth, but Woad holed a long-range putt at the sixth to get back to par. A birdie for Lottie Woad… She's already making moves at Royal Porthcawl 👀 — AIG Women's Open (@AIGWomensOpen) July 31, 2025 Wayward tee shots at the 11th and 15th cost Woad further strokes, but a fine approach to the 14th produced a birdie and another to loud cheers came at the par-five 18th. 'I knew I had to get back to even,' Woad told Sky Sports. 'I'm off early (on Friday) and I'll just try a get a good score together. 'It's a great test, definitely challenges you. If you hit a bad shot you're going to be punished.' Rhodes played in the 2024 Curtis Cup before turning professional and has enjoyed a spectacular year on the Ladies European Tour with three victories. England's Mimi Rhodes put herself into contention at the AIG Women's Open with an opening round of 69 (Nigel French/PA) The 23-year-old from Bath added an eagle at the ninth to four birdies for a fine three-under par score of 69 to share fourth place. Rhodes said: 'I've had a few up and down weeks in the last few weeks, so I'm really happy to be striking it well and putting at my best again. 'I was coming in fresh and open-minded, it was so fun to have so many friends and family here supporting me.' Japanese players dominated the top of the leaderboard with Takeda and Okayama firing 67s and Miyu Yamashita recording five birdies and an eagle in a round of 68. Darcey Harry delivers! A birdie from the home favourite and the fans at Royal Porthcawl are loving every second. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 — AIG Women's Open (@AIGWomensOpen) July 31, 2025 Three more Japanese players – Chisato Iwai, Mao Saigo and Shiho Kuwaki – were in a big bunch of players on 69. World number one Nelly Korda and home favourite Darcey Harry, from nearby Penarth and a Royal Porthcawl member, were in a group at two under-par. Georgia Hall, the 2018 Open champion, shot a one-under par 70 and fellow English player Charley Hull carded a topsy-turvy 73. Hull recovered from a double bogey six at the second, and being three-over through three, with five birdies in six holes. Four consecutive bogeys on the back nine dropped her down the field but a birdie at the 18th moved her within seven shots of the leaders.

Lewis Hamilton faces brutal reality check ahead of return to favourite stomping ground

The seven-times world champion has not had a podium finish in his first 13 races as a Ferrari driver but has won eight times at the Hungaroring in the Budapest Grand Prix As the Formula One roadshow arrives on the outskirts of Budapest, it is fair to say no-one has driven the Hungaroring quite like Lewis Hamilton has driven it. The seven-times world champion has won eight races there and has been on pole a record nine times. ‌ Hamilton's victory in his rookie season 18 years ago was the first of 12 podium finishes and he recorded the fastest-ever lap at the track, 1:16.627, in the 2020 Grand Prix. But Hamilton and records have been bedfellows for a long, long time. ‌ He has been a remarkable driver. The chances, though, of Hamilton celebrating a ninth win at the Hungaroring on Sunday are slim. ‌ The main reason for that is that Ferrari have not provided Hamilton with a car that can seriously compete for victories. Ferrari will need some serious luck to win in Hungary. But if fortune did favour Ferrari, then Hamilton would have to beat his team-mate, Charles Leclerc, assuming the man from Monaco stayed on the track. And so far this season, Leclerc has outperformed Hamilton. In the 13 races, Leclerc has out-qualified Hamilton on nine occasions. On race-day, Leclerc has finished ahead of Hamilton ten times. Despite the hullabaloo over the eye-watering figures involved in Hamilton's move to Ferrari - conservative estimates have him earning a base annual salary of £60million - it has not been surprising to see him trail Leclerc, although it should be remembered that the British driver did win a sprint race in China. After all, Leclerc has been driving Formula One for Ferrari since 2019 and is entrenched in the team. But in Hamilton's final season with Mercedes, he was outperformed by George Russell, who qualified ahead of his team-mate at 19 of the 24 Grand Prix. On race day, Russell finished ahead of Hamilton on 14 occasions with the pair both failing to finish the Australian Grand Prix. ‌ Leclerc turns 28 in October, Russell turns 28 four months later. Max Verstappen will be 28 in September, Lando Norris does not turn 26 until November. Oscar Piastri, who leads the drivers' championship, was only six years of age when Hamilton first won at the Hungaroring. Hamilton is 40 years of age. Few people doubt that, given the car, Hamilton can still win races but he is racing against a generation of drivers who are not intimidated by his presence on a race track. ‌ Even though he is only 13 races into his time at Ferrari, Hamilton has felt compelled to dismiss speculation that he might be thinking of retiring before his two-year deal finishes at the end of 2026. Why would he retire? For a start, he is probably still the biggest commercial draw in the sport, hence the deal given to him by Ferrari. He clearly has a great relationship with Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, who has just been given a significant contract extension. And the notion that a great sportsman or woman tarnishes his or her legacy by going on too long is nonsense. If you still enjoy it, carry on, even if age diminishes your powers. That is what, for example, Andy Murray did. Hamilton seems as enthusiastic as ever, still has a huge global fanbase and can still put in a blisteringly quick lap. He is still a big beast on the Formula One grid. But a throwback performance on one of his favourite stomping grounds would not go amiss.
