Emma Raducanu continues to improve.

[Jezzer]

She seems to have stagnated rather than improved.

She looks like she’s being very careful not to injure herself ahead of Wimbledon. Still very much in recovery, and not wanting to scupper such. Grass is probably the most dangerous surface especially when it’s damp.

Eastbourne Round 1 begins at 1pm today. There is coverage on BBC this time as well as iPlayer. The Wimbledon draw takes place later too and Katie Boulter will be seeded for the first time.

ERad has Sloane Stephens in the first round later so that ought to be a test

 

[gavreid]

Raducanu Stephens has begun BBC2. Two former US Open Chamions, I believe! Currently 2-2 first set. 3-3 a break each!

5-4 Emma, Stephens to serve. That's the first set 6-4

5 straight games now. 2-0 set 2. Racing to 3-0. Make that 4-0 she's really in full flow, service game to love ends with an ace 5-0. Changing ends is slowing her down! 6-0 that was as impressive as it gets.

Katie Boulter up next - no live reports!

Boulter's looking unbeatable. I think Emma's first set at Nottingham agaist her was perhaps better than people gave her credit for.

 

[david ellwood]

She bagelled her last time they met

 

[zeon]

Tennis always looks better on grass I think. Glorious !... and great 2nd set from Emma. J P next who won last wk in Berlin.

Ostapenko (5) vs Boulter first up today followed by ER vs Pegula (2)

 

[gavreid]

First set Boulter. Something's bothering Ostapenko can't be sure what it is. Boulter better than she was expecting perhaps but she still fighting and playing some terrific shots...
