Raducanu fights to find groove at Queen's Club
The Straits Times
|June 12, 2025
Emma Raducanu had a comfortable straight-set win over Spain's Cristina Bucsa and was one of three Britons to reach the second round of the WTA 500 tournament at Queen's Club on June 10, while Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova crashed out.

Bucsa had won their only previous meeting in the first round of this year's Singapore Open, but this time the Spaniard was no match for the 22-year-old wild card and Raducanu strolled to a 6-1, 6-2 win.
"I'm still trying to find my groove on this surface," Raducanu said of the grass court.
"I knew today would be a very difficult match. I lost to Cristina earlier in the year, so I was trying to make sure that didn't happen again and fight to get myself into the second round."
She will now face Rebecca Sramkova after the Slovak caused an upset with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Czech seventh seed Krejcikova, who returned to action only in May after a back injury had kept her out since November.
