Emma Raducanu and British No.1 Katie Boulter were competing in the women's doubles at Queen's on Wednesday - but their quarter-final showdown was not broadcast on the BBC
Emma Raducanu revealed she hopes to keep exploring her doubles partnership with Katie Boulter after the pair bowed out in the quarter-finals at Queen’s following a 6-2 7-5 defeat to Ukrainian Lyudmyla Kichenok and Erin Routliffe of New Zealand.
The BBC again did not show Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter in the doubles at Queen’s, airing repeats of Homes Under The Hammer and Bargain Hunt instead of their latest match.
When Raducanu and 41st-ranked Sramkova meet, it will be their first meeting. Although the Briton is ranked only four spots above the Slovak, she enters the match as the favorite and will definitely feel well about her chances of making it two out of two to start the grass swing.
Emma Raducanu has stormed into the round of 16 at Queen's with a resounding win over Cristina Bucsa. Raducanu won 77% of her points on her first serve, converted four of her five break points, and won nine games in a row en route to a 6-1 6-2 triumph.
