Queen's joy as Raducanu is up and running
The Journal
|June 11, 2025
EMMA Raducanu got her grass court singles season off to an emphatic start after wrapping up a swift 6-1 6-2 victory over Spanish qualifier Cristina Bucsa to book her place in the second round at Queen's.
-
The 22-year-old, who secured a first doubles victory with partner Katie Boulter on Monday, revealed before the tournament - the first time Queen's has hosted women's tennis in 52 years - that she was still managing ongoing back issues, playing down expectations for this WTA 500 event, boasting a £1million prize pot.
But wild card Raducanu was in fine form yesterday afternoon on centre court - now inaugurated as the Andy Murray Arena - where she dispatched Bucsa in just one hour and four minutes, much to the delight of the home crowd who were behind the 2021 US Open champion the whole way.
