Raducanu sweeps past Stephens at Eastbourne

Updated 44 minutes ago

Emma Raducanu continued her Wimbledon preparations with an assured victory over fellow former Grand Slam champion Sloane Stephens at Eastbourne.

The 21-year-old Briton 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 in front of a packed centre court.

"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.
