Emma Raducanu says improvements to her serve that have helped her reach the Nottingham quarter-finals were motivated by recent defeats to Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka.
Raducanu beat Ukraine's Daria Snigur in straight sets on Thursday to advance to reach the last eight of a WTA grass-court tournament for the first time. Her success on home soil follows losses to World No 3 Sabalenka in March on the hard courts of Indian Wells and World No 1 Iga Swiatek in April on clay in Stuttgart.
'Especially what I've realised, playing the top opponents like Iga or Aryna , you need a first serve because they're very comfortable holding serve. If you don't have one yourself then it's very difficult.' Raducanu has been without her coach Nick Cavaday in Nottingham due to him being unwell, so has instead had former British professional Jane O'Donoghue supporting her.
