The 21-year-old Briton on Monday declared herself back in love with the sport following a torrid time with injuries.
Emma Raducanu delighted the Eastbourne crowd by dispatching Sloane Stephens in straight sets in the first round of the Rothesay International.
“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. Yet she showed little sign of any fitness troubles as she warmed up for Wimbledon in devastating fashion by building on her recent run to the semi-finals of Nottingham.A succession of early holds was followed by four consecutive breaks of service during which the home favourite impressively dug in to prevent 31-year-old American Stephens gaining the upper hand.
