Kasatkina 6-2 6-2 Raducanu
Daria Kasatkina said after her win against Briton Emma Raducanu: “It’s great to be back at Eastbourne and back on grass with the windy conditions and the seagulls. I was trying to be controlled because the conditions were very tough. You have to play and try to win as many points as you can and try to put as many balls inside the court as you can.
“Jasmine [Paolini] is having a great season, she’s playing amazing and on fire. I’m also not too bad. I think it’s going to be a great match tomorrow. I thank the crowd for a very respectful support.”
