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.

Raducanu - playing only her second match since April after deciding to skip the French Open to focus on her fitness - made light work of the world number 127 to win 6-2 6-2.

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.
