- By Yasmin Syed

EMMA RADUCANU made a triumphant debut on the Andy Murray Arena at Queen's as she gained revenge over Cristina Bucsa.

World No.37 Raducanu defeated Spanish qualifier Bucsa 6-1 6-2 in 64 minutes to reach the second round of the new WTA 500 event.

She then hailed Sir Andy Murray, below, who had the west London venue's marquee stage renamed in his honour.

Raducanu, who made her Queen's debut in the doubles on the smaller Court 1 on Monday with British No.1 Katie Boulter, said: "It's amazing what Andy achieved here and in general with his career at Wimbledon to see him open up the court was immense."
