Emma Raducanu said she had to 'win ugly' as she made a victorious start to her Wimbledon campaign on Centre Court against Mexican lucky loser Renata Zarazua.
Emma Raducanu said she had to 'win ugly' as she sealed a 7-6 6-3 victory against Mexican lucky loser Renata Zarazua on her Wimbledon comeback. Raducanu took advantage of her slice of good fortune to claim victory on her comeback at the All England Club. Raducanu had been preparing to face 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, a big-hitting Russian who reached the fourth round here last year.
Wild Card Lily Miyazaki joined Raducanu in the next round after producing a superb performance to upset Tamara Korpatsch 6-2 6-1. The Tokyo-born 28-year-old more than doubled her prize money for the year, earning £93,000 for less than an hour's work. A comprehensive win over the German world No 73 secured a second-round meeting with 14th seed Daria Kasatkina on Wednesday.
