Emma Raducanu beat Slovakia’s Viktoria Hruncakova (6-4, 6-4) on Tuesday in Malaga. The British take a first step towards the final.
Emma Raducanu beat Viktoria Hruncakova in straight sets 6-4, 6-4 on Tuesday in Malaga in the first match of the second semi-final of the BJK Cup to take Great Britain’s first step towards the final.
In 1h37, and in a one-sided match, the 58th in the world held her own against the power of her opponent’s forehand, only 238th in the WTA. The young Briton, 22 years old, surprise winner of the US Open in 2021, knew how to multiply aces (8) and benefited from several rather crude unforced errors from the Slovak to win the match.
Great Britain leads 1-0 against Slovakia before the second singles match between Katie Boulter (24th) and Rebecca Sramkova (43rd). If necessary, a double will decide between the two teams and decide who will face Italy in the final on Wednesday, winner of Poland.
