Emma Raducanu has been drawn against America’s Ann Li in the first round of next week’s Eastbourne Open.
The 22-year-old British No 1 has been troubled by a back problem since competing at Strasbourg in May, having to take a medical timeout during her quarter-final loss to Zheng Qinwen at Queen’s Club last week.
However she is fit to play in her final tournament ahead of Wimbledon, which begins on June 30.
Emma Raducanu says dealing with her recurring back spasm can be frustrating and admits it’s an issue that comes and goes
At last year’s LTA event on the south coast, Raducanu claimed the scalp of Jessica Pegula before going on to make the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Seeded seventh in the draw for Eastbourne, Raducanu will take on Li on Monday, with Britain’s Jodie Burrage, Harriet Dart, Sonay Cartel and Mingge Xu also in action.
Should Raducanu progress through the top half of the draw, she could then come up against two-time Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur in the second round.
Defending Eastbourne champion Daria Kasatkina, the Australian world No 16, is also a potential opponent in the quarter-finals.
Emma Raducanu received treatment during a break in play during her Women’s Singles First Round match against Wang Xinyu of People’s Republic of China on Day Two of the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros
Raducanu said: “It’s been lingering for the last few weeks and I have had back issues before.
“I think it’s just a vulnerability of mine. I know I need to take good care of it.
“I’m not overly concerned that it’s something serious, but I know it’s something that’s very annoying and needs proper and careful management.”
Fourteen-year-old Brit Megan Knight and compatriot Heather Watson will be hoping to make it through qualifying and compete alongside Raducanu on home soil.
Qualifying for the Lexus Eastbourne Open will take place over the weekend before the main draw action gets under way on Monday with the finals on Saturday June 28.

Kim ends five-year winless run on LPGA Tour with big home win
Sei Young Kim ended a five-year winless run on the LPGA Tour with a four-shot victory at the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea. The former major champion took a four-shot lead into the final day at Pine Beach Golf Links, with Kim retaining control - on home soil - by mixing six birdies with a lone bogey during a final-round 67. Kim recovered from an early bogey at the par-three third to register four birdies in a five-hole stretch from the fifth, seeing her turn in 33, then extended her advantage with back-to-back gains from the 14th. Image: Kim carded rounds of 62, 66, 69 and 67 to complete victory A three-par finish kept Kim on 24 under and comfortably ahead of closest challenger Nasa Hataoka, who matched her five-under 67, while A Lim Kim ended six strokes back […]
Benn: ‘One shot away from Eubank KO – I just got greedy’
Conor Benn remains convinced he should have beaten Chris Eubank Jr in their first fight.Benn and Eubank Jr, the sons of great rivals Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr, fought through a barnstorming 12 rounds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April.

I was so consumed by violence," Benn told Sky Sports.

Slavia už nepaběrkuje, po čtvrtině dokonce vede první ligu
Druhý nejlepší útok, ale zejména suverénně nejkvalitnější defenziva. Slávisté za třináct duelů inkasovali pouze 19 gólů. „Týmu se daří a všechny čtyři lajny šlapou. Máme dobrý pohyb a skvělého gólmana, Jarda Pavelka nám vychytal spoustu zápasů,“ chválil útočník Matěj Beran.A když Pavelka v našlapaném programu dostal pro střetnutí s Táborem volno, využili Pražané výpomoc z Mladé Boleslavi. Čisté konto udržel fenomenální Vojtěch Mokry, a tak červenobílí vedou první ligu se třiceti body o dva body před Litoměřicemi. „Moc si toho vážíme. Ale nedělal bych z toho závěry. Je za námi teprve první čtvrtina. Sezona se rozhoduje až v březnu a dubnu, ne v říjnu,“ uvědomoval si Beran.Foto: Veronika Mašátová/HC Slavia PrahaBrankář Vojtěch Mokry z Mladé Boleslavi vypomohl prvoligové Slavii.Slavia spadla z extraligy již před dlouhými deseti roky.
