British trio Radacanu, Boulter and Dart beaten in Eastbourne quarter-finals

British trio Emma Radacanu, Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart were all beaten in the quarter-finals at Eastbourne.

Radacanu lost 6-2 6-2 by Russian sixth seed Dari Kasatkina, with Nottingham Open winner Boulter defeated 6-1 7-6 (7-0) to Italian third seed Jasmine Paolini.

Dart went down 6-2 6-1 in just 67 minutes to canadian Leylah Fernandez.

It was first time since 1978 there had been three British women in the quarter-finals at Eastbourne.

Radacanu, a US Open champion in 2021, reached the final eight of the competition with an impressive win over Jessica Pegula.

Prior to today’s loss, she hit back of recent critics of the state of British tennis and insistsed she is feeling good ahead of appearing at Wimbledon next week.

The 21-year-old said: “We all see each other progressing into the next round and we all just want to join them.

“Nobody wants to be left behind, but I think that is the way it should be.

“We should be pushing each other and I think that is the case in the men’s and women’s.

“We’re all doing really well, especially on the grass.

“We all come alive on this surface and I think it’s a testament to how well we’ve been training and how hard we’ve been putting work in.

“Contrary to some beliefs about us, I think we’re all doing a pretty good job.”

On the men’s side, Britain’s Billy Harris reached his first ATP Tour semi-final by beating Italian Flavio Cobolli in four sets.
