Hello and welcome to coverage of Emma Raducanu’s second round match at the Rothesay Open in Nottingham.

The Briton made a strong start to her campaign when she beat Japanese-American qualifier Ena Shibahara 6-1, 6-4.

Today she faces Ukrainian Daria Snigur for a place in the quarter-finals.

Raducanu said: “I remember playing her at the Under-12s Winter Cup in Romania. She’s a very unorthodox opponent to play. Someone with amazing hand skills. Really good at deflecting pace. Really good at making me move. She’s someone I grew up playing with in juniors.

“But I haven’t actually spent that much time on the court with her. She makes life very difficult for her opponents and it’s important that I focus on my end of the court. It’s very easy to get frustrated but I’m looking forward to playing and I feel good in myself.”

When asked if she has sympathy for her opponent, who resides in Poland due to Russia-Ukraine conflict, Raducanu said: “It’s not an easy situation at all. I do sympathise for her, for having to go through that. At the end of the day, when we’re on the court, it’s two people trying to beat each other and there’s nothing more to it.”

On Tuesday, Raducanu grew frustrated with line calls in her match, 24 hours after Harriet Dart called for electronic line technology at all tournaments.

“I feel this year Hawk-Eye has been a little bit off – I don’t know why,” said Raducanu. “I think there is a beauty in having all the linesmen and it does add to the drama for the spectators. For us it can be the most frustrating thing ever.”

With Wimbledon less than three weeks away, Raducanu will be keen to go deep into the event, get match practice and build confidence.
