Emma Raducanu v Cristina Bucsa live: Tennis scores as British No 2 begins Queen’s Club quest

Here we go, then – the warm-up is done and it’s Emma Raducanu to serve.

Raducanu has a tough draw here at Queen’s and is likely to face reigning Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejciova in the second round. That will be a great test, but she has a tough qualifier to see off first.

Bucsa is outside the top 100 in the world right now but has been as high as No 56 last year, having reached the second round of every grand slam at some point over the past couple of years. The 27-year-old won their only previous meeting together.

Emma Raducanu strides out on the court to a loud cheer from those fans who have remained in their seats – though plenty have taken the time to grab refreshments after that lengthy three-setter.

A good win for Boulter, digging deep against an experienced opponent to get her grass-court season up and running.

Boulter and Tomljanovic exchange holds of serve and now pressure is on the Australian to hold – Boulter races to 15-40 after a lovely passing shot to earn two match points, and a Tomljanovic errs long to cede it!

Big forehand winner up the line at 15-15 sparks a big “come on!” in the direction of her player box, which includes fiancee and Australian No 1 Alex de Minaur!

Tomljanovic responds with a big forehand winner of her own for 30-30, and then forces Boulter into a wayward forehand for break point!

And Boulter goes long! Ah, what a let-off for the Aussie…

A comfortable hold for Boulter – and much needed after being broken three times in a row!

Is this the momentum swing she needs in this first round contest?
