Emma Raducanu rounded off a typically underwhelming day of British clay-court tennis as she lost in three sets to Marta Kostyuk, an old rival from her junior days.

Emma Raducanu has admitted she still isn’t “comfortable” on the clay after crashing out in the second round of the Madrid Open. The British No. 2 thrashed Marta Kostyuk at the same tournament three years ago. But the No. 24 seed got her revenge on Friday, winning 6-4 2-6 6-2.

Emma Raducanu will hope to build on an impressive start to her clay-court season as she faces Marta Kostyuk at the Madrid Open. Raducanu looked in good touch against Suzan Lamens as she began her campaign in the Spanish capital with a straight-sets win.
