Emma Raducanu admits to uncertainty after powerful Nottingham Open victory over Ena Shibahara

Emma Raducanu has reacted to her victory over Ena Shibahara at the Nottingham Open on Tuesday, admitting she was unsure how the match would play out.

The 21-year-old was gracing the court for the first time in a match since her defeat at the Madrid Open back in October.

And Raducanu, playing 713 days after her last match on a grass court, produced a strong performance as she powered her way to victory.

The Briton won 6-1, 6-4 to book her place in the second round, surviving a late Shibahara comeback in the process.
