Emma Raducanu says she is relishing the challenge of adapting her game to perform on clay as she and Katie Boulter lead Great Britain in a tough Billie Jean King Cup qualifier against France.

“I’m enjoying the challenge of it,” said Raducanu. “And I think it’s great that we can be in this position, playing the French who are so dominant. And coming on clay, I definitely think we’re the underdogs. But we have a lot of game and we’re ready to play this weekend.”
