Read our privacy policy Emma Raducanu made a triumphant return to action to put Great Britain within touching distance of the Billie Jean King Cup quarter-finals. Raducanu served 10 aces in a 6-4 6-4 win – although there were also seven double faults and six match points – that gives Katie Boulter the chance to clinch the victory and a clash with defending champions Canada on Sunday by beating Laura Siegemund. Seville had been the intended host of the event but it was moved in July at the request of local authorities to join next week’s Davis Cup Finals in Malaga, although it inevitably has the feeling of the poor relation given that is being staged in a permanent, much larger stadium next door. Raducanu’s name elicited the biggest cheer from the heavily British crowd when the teams finally walked onto court, with the former US Open champion bidding to build on her heroics in the qualifiers in April, when she won both her matches away against France on clay to seal an upset victory.
