The 21-year-old Briton on Monday declared herself back in love with the sport following a torrid time with injuries.
She delivered in style on her maiden outing at Devonshire Park, producing a string of eye-catching winners to triumph 6-4 6-0 in a big-hitting battle of former US Open champions.
Wildcard Raducanu will face second seed Jessica Pegula in round two.
“It was a very close first set and I was down quite a bit all the way through and managed to break,” she said on court following victory.
“But it’s very difficult because Sloane is super athletic and, in the first set especially, she was making a lot of balls and counter punching really well.
“It took a lot to try and hit through her but I managed to figure it out in the second set.”
