The former US Open champion battled past lucky loser Renata Zarazua 7-6 (0) 6-3 on Centre Court.

Emma Raducanu took inspiration from England’s narrow escape at Euro 2024 by “winning ugly” in her opening match at Wimbledon.

Raducanu knows what it is like to face intense scrutiny and expectation, and she added in her press conference: “Last night, I had a feeling that they would still turn it around. “Today I used it as motivation. It doesn’t need to be beautiful, it doesn’t need to be perfect. As long as you get through the opening rounds, you give yourself another chance to play better.

The start of the second set was also tense, with Raducanu saving two break points in the third game, but she held her nerve and eventually clinched Britain’s first win of the tournament. “But I think it’s all about just competing at the end of the day. When it’s such short notice, you just have to keep your head together and just stay calm, try not to let the external circumstances throw you too much. I think I managed to deal with it really well today.”
