.Emma Raducanu broke down in tears after her hard-fought win against Ann Li at the 2025 Eastbourne Open. Despite the emotional moment, she declined to disclose the reason, only revealing she had received some deeply upsetting personal news.
Returning from a back injury that sidelined her from the Berlin Tennis Open, Raducanu fought back from a set down to claim victory. Her powerful comeback earned her a standing ovation from the Eastbourne crowd, who rallied behind the British star.
In her post-match comments, Raducanu admitted the tears were a result of emotional release but chose to keep the details private. She thanked the supportive fans and expressed pride in her resilience and determination on court.
Up next, Raducanu faces Maya Joint in the second round. If victorious, she could advance to face the winner between Anna Blinkova and Lulu Sun, with a potential semifinal or final clash against top contenders like Peyton Stearns or Jelena Ostapenko.
