However, the Brit chose to keep the reasons behind her distress a secret.<\/p>\n<p>After a back injury forced her to withdraw from the Berlin Tennis Open, Raducanu made her return to the court at the WTA 250 event in Eastbourne. The 22-year-old kicked off her campaign against Ann Li, making a difficult start to the match by losing the opening set in the tiebreak. However, the Brit managed to turn things around by making a comeback to claim a 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-1 victory.<\/p>\n<p>Emma Raducanu was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/tennis\/news-watch-bizarre-scenes-emma-raducanu-deals-unexpected-interruption-eastbourne-opener\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">visibly emotional<\/a> after her win, as she broke down in tears while celebrating on the court. The crowd was quick to provide the home favorite with some motivation by giving her a standing ovation as she attempted to get her emotions under control.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Raducanu spoke about her reaction during her post-match press conference and disclosed that she had received some &#8220;bad news,&#8221; the details of which she wanted to keep under wraps.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I received some pretty bad news, so I would like to keep it personal, if that&#8217;s OK?
