Teary Raducanu finds another gear for battling Eastbourne win
The Guardian
|June 25, 2025
Emma Raducanu fought back tears after resuming her Wimbledon preparations by battling back from a set down to beat the US's Ann Li in the first round of the Eastbourne Open.
Amid blustery conditions, the British No 1, who missed last week's Berlin Open as she managed a back problem, triumphed 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-1.
Raducanu has been struggling with the issue since competing in Strasbourg before the French Open and took an off-court medical timeout during her quarter-final loss at Queen's Club this month. But, aside from a slip and fall on the grass in set one, she appeared to come through her opening examination at Devonshire Park unscathed.
Victory over the world No 64 Li in two hours and 18 minutes sets up a second-round match with the 19-year-old Australian Maya Joint, who knocked out the two-time Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur on Monday.
The seventh seed Raducanu produced an emotional response after sealing her progress with a fine backhand winner.
