- Emma Raducanu secured her place in the Queen’s Championships semi-finals by defeating Uzbekistan’s Kamilla Rakhimova 6-3 7-5 in a match that had been delayed from Friday due to heavy rain.
- The British No 1 will now face American teenager Iva Jovic in the semi-finals later on Saturday, requiring her to play two matches on the same day.
- During the quarter-final, Raducanu suffered an injury scare after slipping on the grass, necessitating a medical timeout for her left thigh, though she later removed the strapping and continued playing.
- The match was also briefly interrupted in the first set by the King’s birthday flypast, which Raducanu described as “insane”, causing a pause in play as aircraft flew overhead.
- Raducanu expressed her gratitude for the crowd's support and pride in her ability to regroup after the injury.
