'Free and expressive' Raducanu wins on 'home turf'

Emma Raducanu impressively kick-started her grass-court singles campaign with a straight-set win over Cristina Bucsa at Queen's, showcasing a "free and expressive" style of play. The young Briton's quick victory delighted the home crowd and marked a potentially pivotal moment in the British number one ranking race, surpassing compatriot Katie Boulter temporarily. Meanwhile, Boulter and other British players like Heather Watson progressed in the tournament, but wildcard Francesca Jones fell to American McCartney Kessler.
