15:19 CET - Emma Raducanu's (21) debut appearance at Eastbourne couldn't have gone better, coasting past Sloane Stephens (31) 6-4, 6-0 to move into the second round. It was an extremely impressive performance from the former US Open champion.

Karolina Muchova's (27) return to tennis after 10 months out of the sport with a wrist injury was also far more straightforward than anticipated. The Czech was leading Elina Avanesyan (21) 3-1, before her opponent retired from the contest.
