Emma Raducanu will make her first competitive appearance in England since her US Open triumph at Nottingham next week. The 19-year-old’s second-round exit from the French Open means she will start her grass-court campaign a week earlier than initially intended.
Raducanu and fellow Briton Dan Evans have been given wildcards for the Rothesay Open Nottingham, which gets under way next Monday. Raducanu said: “I’m excited to return to Nottingham and it will be a great opportunity to play in front of British crowds for the first time this year.
“This event will always be special to me as I played my first tournament on the WTA Tour here last June and I can’t wait to go back.”
