London Wimbledon Championships Day 1 27/06/2022 Emma Raducanu (GBR) celebrates as she wins first round match, her first ever on Centre court Roger Parker International Sports Fotos Ltd
Emma Raducanu said she has put her troubled past few month behind her after her first-round 6-4, 6-4 victory over Alison Van Uytvanck.
“It wasn’t relief, it was just happiness,” Raducanu said.
“To play on Centre Court and get a win first time, it’s amazing. Now every time I go back, I’m just going to have a great first experience. That always helps.
“I definitely took it in. I looked at the crowd, just saw everyone.
“The noise was just amazing to hear from the word go. When the crowd filled out a little bit as the match went on, even more so in the tricky moments. I think they really pulled me through some tough ones.
‘It was a tricky match because Alison is a great opponent. She hits the ball really low and flat, and it definitely suits this surface. I knew that going in I was going to have to play well. I’m pleased to have come through the tough moments.’
