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.

Rafael Devers homers against the Red Sox for his 1st home run with the Giants
Rafael Devers hit his first home run with the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Adding a footnote — or a punctuation mark — to the saga of being traded by the Boston Red Sox last Sunday, the homer came against his former team.Devers hit the homer in the third inning, smacking a 96 mph fastball left out over the plate by Brayan Bello to the opposite field. The ball came off Devers' bat at 105.5 mph, according to Statcast, giving it plenty of fuel to go over the left-field wall at Oracle Park. The two-run shot gave the Giants a 3-0 lead.At the very least, Devers hitting a homer against the Red Sox would appear to be some affirmation for him after being portrayed as the bad guy in his dispute with the team over moving from third base to […]

3 Best 2025 NBA Draft Fits for Rutgers Star Dylan Harper
<!--> Rutgers guard Dylan Harper, the No. 2 overall prospect in the Class of 2024, is coming off a superb freshman season in Piscataway, where he dazzled as an impact scorer who facilitated and made an impact on both ends of the floor.The 6-foot-6 Harper averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, four assists and 1.4 steals per game, while shooting 48.4/33.3/75.0 in 29 games. He figures to be a Day-1 starter in the NBA. It's simply a matter of whether teams view him as a point guard or more of a combo guard/off-guard.While former Duke forward and 2024-25 Men's College Basketball Player of the Year Cooper Flagg figures to be selected first overall in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks, Harper will likely be right behind.That said, here are the top three NBA fits for Harper, among the […]
Baldasso cita Fluminense no Mundial de Clubes e lamenta: “Era para o Internacional estar ali”
Baldasso, influenciador do Internacional (Foto: Reprodução) O jornalista relembrou a derrota na semifinal da Libertadores de 2023 e argumentou que disputar a competição em 2029 deve ser um projeto Colorado Enquanto o Mundial de Clubes acontece, torcedores de 16 clubes da Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro apenas assistem o desempenho de Fluminense, Palmeiras, Botafogo e Flamengo. A situação faz com que alguns lamentem derrotas passadas e a chance perdida de estar disputando a competição que está em andamento nos Estados Unidos. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Foi o caso do jornalista Fabiano Baldasso, que tem o conteúdo focado no Internacional. O comunicador relembrou a derrota na semifinal da Libertadores de 2023 para o tricolor carioca e lamentou a perda da eventual vaga. “Eu vejo ali (no Mundial) o Fluminense, e era o Inter que era pra estar ali”, disse.

Burocrática, Inter de Milão abusa dos cruzamentos e sofre para vencer Urawa Reds nos acréscimos; análise
Chega a impressionar como a mesma Inter de Milão que há menos de dois meses venceu o Barcelona numa semifinal eletrizante de Champions, sofreu neste sábado para vencer o Urawa Reds, do Japão. A virada por 2 a 1 obtida já nos acréscimos veio na base do abafa e de uma overdose de cruzamentos. Mais um jogo sintomático de como a vida dos europeus não anda fácil nesta Copa do Mundo de Clubes. É verdade que a escalação não é a mesma dos confrontos contra o Barça. Muitos titulares daqueles jogos não iniciaram neste sábado. Também é fato que o time acabou de trocar de treinador (Cristian Chivu assumiu no lugar de Inzaghi). Mas a Inter vai apresentar um nível de atuação melhor se quiser ser competitiva neste Mundial. A vitória salvou o time de chegar à última rodada da […]
