Emma Raducanu vs Daria Snigur LIVE: Result and reaction as Briton reaches Nottingham Open quarter-finals
Raducanu’s preparation for Wimbledon continues as she looks to progress to the third round of the Rothesay Open
Emma Raducanu progressed through to the quarter-finals of the Rothesay Open in Nottingham with a straight-sets victory over Ukraine’s Daria Snigur.
In a match where she produced 10 aces and won six games in a row in the first set, it was a good performance from Raducanu, who won 6-2 6-2 over Snigur, who is an experienced grass court player.
Raducanu is fully underway with her grass court preparations as she hopes to peak in time for Wimbledon this July and is growing in both confidence and fitness following a six-week absence. She skipped the French Open after a first-round defeat at the Madrid Open choosing instead to focus on the grass court season and ‘keep fit for the rest of the year’.
Her first round match in Nottingham saw her easily sweep past Japanese opponent Ena Shibahara, winning 6-1 6-4 in straight sets though she was displeased at some “insane” line calls.
