Emma Raducanu made a triumphant comeback at the Queen's Club WTA event, winning her first match since March. She defeated Russian qualifier Anna Blinkova 6-0 6-3 in the opening round, showcasing a confident performance on the grass courts.

The British number one has struggled this year due to injuries and illness, with limited time on the court impacting her results, including a first-round exit at the French Open. This victory marks a positive turn as she reunites with former coach Andrew Richardson.
