Emma Raducanu thought that she did quite well in her comeback match as the British tennis star was pleased with how she played in a big win over Jule Niemeier to help Great Britain progress into the next stage at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals.

Tennis fans had not seen Emma Raducanu in action since September 21. Raducanu sustained a foot injury in the Korea Open and eventually pulled out of every tournament in the Asian swing of the WTA schedule.

For the BJK Cup Finals, British Davis Cup team captain also nominated Harriet Dart, Heather Watson and Olivia Nicholls. And according to the former world No. 85 who was overlooked in the selection, she has been told that the 2021 US Open champion has been showing "really good" level so far in practice.

Poland's world number two Iga Swiatek beat Paula Badosa 6-3 6-7(5) 6-1 to knock out hosts Spain 2-0 and book her country a spot in the Billie Jean King Cup quarter-finals on Friday.

Emma Raducanu looked sharp after several weeks away from competitive action as she saw off the challenge of Jule Niemeier to give Great Britain a 1-0 lead over Germany in their Billie Jean King Cup tie in Malaga.

Emma Raducanu wins on her return from injury to give Great Britain the best possible start in their bid for a first Billie Jean King Cup title.
