<p>Tennis star Emma Raducanu spoke on court following her first round victory at Wimbledon on Monday afternoon, which she described as "winning ugly" and likened it to England's last 16 win over Slovakia the night before. The camera then panned to the stands, where former Three Lions skipper Beckham was sitting, catching his reaction.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"You have to do what it takes to get over the line." <br><br>England 🤝 Emma Raducanu <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BBCTennis?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BBCTennis</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Wimbledon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Wimbledon</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Euro2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Euro2024</a> <a href="https://t.co/VYlq8Sz7JM">pic.twitter.com/VYlq8Sz7JM</a></p>— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) <a href="https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/1807830585366245424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 1, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>At her first Wimbledon appearance since 2022, Raducanu needed a first set tiebreak against Mexico's 98th-ranked Renata Zarazua, before taking the second 6-3. England, having laboured through the Euro 2024 group stage, dramatically forced extra-time against Slovakia thanks to Jude Bellingham's overhead kick, before Harry Kane won it in the additional period.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Raducanu said: "I was, for sure, nervous. I think everyone could see that in my tennis a little bit. At the end of the day, you have to just do what it takes to get over the line and, honestly, watching the football last night it was like winning ugly…it all counts."</p>

WHAT RADUCANU SAID

<p>Raducanu will be back in action in Wimbledon's second round on Wednesday when she faces Elise Mertens of Belgium. As for England, the Euro 2024 quarter-final against an impressive Switzerland team awaits. But there is set to be a nervous wait to see if <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jude-bellingham-could-still-face-ban-gesture-slovakia-uefa-investigation/blt4dc36a4e889abcd7" target="_blank">Bellingham will escape a possible ban</a>.</p>
