Raducanu and Boulter win at Eastbourne

Britain's Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter continued their Wimbledon preparations with assured first-round victories in Eastbourne.

Raducanu, playing the event for the first time said on Monday she had "rekindled" her love of tennis.

And that was evident as she claimed an emphatic second-set bagel to wrap up a 6-4 6-0 win over former US Open champion Sloane Stephens.

That was followed by a 6-1 7-6 (10-8) victory for British number one Boulter against Croatia's Petra Martic.

"I'm very pleased I managed to figure out the situations in the first set - it was difficult and I don't think I was necessarily playing my best tennis," Raducanu told BBC TV.
