🇬🇧🎾 Big snub alert for British tennis stars Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter! Fans are not happy with the lack of TV coverage as both players started their doubles campaign at Queen’s. While the spotlight was on Serena Williams making her comeback, Emma and Katie’s matches were left off the BBC broadcast, leaving many UK fans disappointed. 🤔
The Andy Murray Arena was buzzing as Serena returned to the court with Victoria Mboko. Meanwhile, Raducanu and Boulter battled it out against Storm Hunter and Shuai Zhang elsewhere, with no televised coverage available. “Why aren’t the Brits on the best court?” one fan asked online. Another added, “I’m very disappointed in the BBC coverage.”
But it’s not all bad news! 🎉 Both Emma and Katie shone in their singles matches. Raducanu powered through with a straight-sets win over Anna Blinkova, marking her first victory in nearly three months. She’s now set to face Sorana Cirstea in the next round. Boulter also impressed, defeating Leyla Fernandez in a match stretched over two rainy days. Her next opponent? Jaqueline Cristian.
👀 As for Serena, she and her partner will be up against Laura Siegemund and Fernandez after their victory over Erin Routliffe and Nicole Melichar-Martinez. Serena shared, “It was so fun to be back on the court. I got tired of sitting at home, so why not play here?”
Catch Emma and Katie on court soon – let’s hope for some amazing coverage next time! 📺👊 #TennisDrama #TeamGB #EmmaRaducanu #KatieBoulter #QueensTennis
