Emma Raducanu continues her Wimbledon preparations by reaching the quarter-finals of the Nottingham Open with victory over Daria Snigur.
Britain's Emma Raducanu continued her Wimbledon preparations by cruising into the quarter-finals of the Nottingham Open with a straight-set win over Ukraine's Daria Snigur.The 21-year-old made a shaky start to the second-round match as Snigur, 22, broke her serve in the opening game.
Both players then held serve before former US Open champion Raducanu reeled off six games in a row - including a double break - to win the first set. A confident Raducanu then secured two breaks of serve in the second set to advance to the last eight, where she will face compatriot Fran Jones or American Ashlyn Krueger.
After ceding the first game, Raducanu's serve was particularly impressive. She sent down 11 aces thanks to a new-look action she has adopted since reuniting with childhood coach Nick Cavaday.But the world number 209 put her frustration aside to make it back-to-back wins for the third time this year as she builds up to Wimbledon, which starts on 1 July.
