Emma Raducanu was defeated in straight sets by No. 6 seed Daria Kasatkina who cruised to a 6-2 6-2 victory in the quarter-finals at Eastbourne.

In a stark contrast to the previous days the conditions were windy and blustery effectively nullifying the striking power of the 21-year-old Brit.

Raducanu showcased a few fine shots with some backhand slices and cross court winners drawing encouragement out of the crowd but Kasatkina was professional throughout.

She kept the ball in play, worked Raducanu across the baseline and benefitted from plenty of unforced errors. It wasn’t to be for Raducanu whose focus now turns to Wimbledon.
