Overview

  • Emma Raducanu lost 4-6, 6-1, 7-6(4) to Australia’s Maya Joint after failing to convert match points in the final set tie-break.
  • Raducanu has been managing recurring back spasms with acupuncture and medication and has said she needs to regroup mentally before Wimbledon.
  • Barbora Krejcikova pulled out of her Eastbourne quarter-final due to right thigh soreness and will rest in the run-up to her title defence.
  • Nineteen-year-old Maya Joint reached the Eastbourne semi-finals following up her victory over Raducanu with a win against former finalist Ons Jabeur.
  • Raducanu could face top seed Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon first round if the draw follows expected seeding patterns, presenting a tough opening match at SW19.
