Emma Raducanu to begin Wimbledon preparations in Nottingham

Emma Raducanu has brought forward the start of her grass court season and will play in June's Nottingham Open.

The 19-year-old was set to make her first appearance in front of a British crowd since winning the US Open at the Birmingham Classic, but has now added Nottingham to her calendar.

Raducanu's clay court swing came to an end when she lost in the French Open second round on Wednesday.

Dan Evans will also play in Nottingham, with the tournament starting on 6 June.

Raducanu reached the Wimbledon fourth round in 2021 and will once again use Nottingham - which was her first WTA Tour event last year - as preparation for the Grand Slam.
