A relaxed-looking Emma Raducanu began her grass-court singles campaign with an impressive straight-sets victory over Spanish qualifier Cristina Bucsa at Queen's.
The Briton smiled and interacted with the crowd as she secured a 6-1 6-2 victory on the Andy Murray Arena.
Raducanu needed just one hour and five minutes to breeze past world number 112 Bucsa and said it felt "incredibly special" to be playing at the home tournament.
"For us girls to have this tournament here finally, after watching the TV and seeing the men play [here], is really nice," said Raducanu.
The world number 37 is one of four women remaining in the tournament bidding to become the first Briton to win the women's title at Queen's Club since Ann Jones in 1969.
