Emma Raducanu was delighted to put together “the whole package” after opening her grass court season with a 6-0 6-3 win over Russian qualifier Anna Blinkova at the HSBC Championships in London.The British number one only allowed Blinkova six points across the entire first set and, despite a stronger second-set challenge from the world number 105, ultimately wrapped up the match in one hour.The 23-year-old was in buoyant spirits after booking her spot in the second round at Queen’s Club, a very different version of Raducanu from the conciliatory picture she cut on clay after bowing out of the first round at the French Open.“I think it was a really good stepping stone,” said Raducanu. “And I think the way I was feeling on the court, the way I was moving, the way I was expressing myself, just the whole package, not necessarily the tennis, just how I kind of was acting on the court, I really enjoyed it.“I think that’s something that I want to take forward in all of my matches and really embrace this grass court season.”Raducanu was looking for a first win since beating Anastasia Zakharova at Indian Wells in March.In May, Raducanu, who has cycled through a steady stream of coaches since winning the US Open as a 2021 qualifier, rehired Andrew Richardson, who had guided her to that triumph.Raducanu was in buoyant spirits after booking her spot in the second round at Queen’s Club (Adam Davy/PA) (PA Wire)She has also suffered from the lingering impact of a post-viral illness, missing two-and-a-half months of action before arriving in Paris, where she lost to Solana Sierra.Raducanu reached the quarter-finals at Queen’s last year, when women’s tennis was played there for the first time since 1973.She said she was hoping to return to a more aggressive form of tennis – with a focus on improving the beginning of points – and got off to a strong start, holding to love in the first game and breaking Blinkova’s serve for the first time in the second.Raducanu added: “I was really pleased with how I came out and was playing very free. I think I was just feeding off of the atmosphere and it felt free, it felt clear and a lot of clarity.“Not necessarily thinking too much, not trying to do too much. It felt very natural.”It took fellow Brit Katie Boulter significantly longer to upset Canada’s Leylah Fernandez – the same woman Raducanu beat in that US Open final – 3-6 7-6 (4) 7-5.Their encounter began on a rain-delayed Monday and picked up again at the Andy Murray Arena, where Boulter ultimately fought back from a set and a break down to claim victory on home soil in a two-hour, 45-minute battle.
