EMMA RADUCANU defeated Ukraine’s Daria Snigur to reach her first WTA Tour quarter-final on grass at the Nottingham Open today.
The former US Open champion produced a solid display in cool, windy conditions to triumph 6-2 6-2, with 11 aces proving very useful.
Raducanu had complained strongly about the line calling in her first-round win over Ena Shibahara, and there were a few more disputes here, with several overrules and both players voicing their unhappiness.
