–

It’s fun to look forward to a potentially blockbuster match in the first week of the grass-court season, at a 250-level event.

But wild card Naomi Osaka vs. wild card Bianca Andreescu had potential – and delivered.

So much subtext to this one – two players who, in some senses, have had similar journeys but who are also so very different. Andeescu squeaked through.

In Nottingham, favorite Emma Raducanu has maximized a fairly sweet draw for a wild card (let’s be honest) and is into the quarterfinals as well. But the rain is having its say – and a lot was pushed back to Saturday.
