Video shows tennis player Emma Raducanu falling over as she slips on the grass before winning against Sloane Stephens, as she prepares for Wimbledon.
Video shows the moment when Raducanu fell over in the first set when she slipped on the grass by the baseline but recovered well and will now face second seed Jessica Pegula in round two. Emma Raducanu delighted the Eastbourne centre court crowd by dispatching Sloane Stephens in straight sets in the first round of the Rothesay International.
But it’s very difficult because Sloane is super athletic and, in the first set especially, she was making a lot of balls and counter punching really well. It took a lot to try and hit through her but I managed to figure it out in the second set.” Wimbledon begins on Monday 1 July 2024. The Championships will conclude on the weekend of July 13 and 14, with the women’s singles final on the Saturday and the men’s singles final following on the Sunday.
