Emma Raducanu has been knocked out of the Eastbourne Open at the round of 16 stage after falling 6-4, 1-6, 6-7 (4-7) to Maya Joint in a gripping contest.

On Tuesday afternoon, the seven-seed Raducanu took on Ann Li in the first round of the 2025 Lexus Eastbourne Open (WTA 250). Raducanu defeated Li in a three-set match that was a reminder of her ultimate goal: 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-1.

Emma Raducanu revealed she is still dealing with an ongoing back issue just days away from the start of Wimbledon. Back spasms have been a recurring problem for the British No.1 and affected Raducanu during the Australian Open and French Open.
