Score and Queen’s Club updates



Emma Raducanu overcame an injury scare to reach the semi-finals at Queen’s Club and maintain hopes of an all-British final.

Raducanu claimed a 6-3, 7-5 win against Kamilla Rakhimova to reach her second semi-final of the year and will take on Iva Jovic on Saturday afternoon.

Raducanu was a set and 3-1 up when she slipped on the court just beyond the baseline, and only got to her feet as the umpire made her way out of the chair.

It seemed to affect her movement for the rest of the game and she did not move towards a ball, before going off court for a medical timeout as soon as the game was over and Rakhimova had held.

After returning to court with heavy strapping, which she removed after just two games, Raducanu was forced to dig deep and at the second time of asking, she served out the match.

“I think right now it’s a mix of adrenaline; it was tough to take that fall, I feel like I was in a pretty good place in the match, these things can happen on grass and it was tough to regroup and I’m really proud of how I did that,” she said when asked about the slip.

Before Raducanu’s semi-final, Katie Boulter, who saw off world No 2 Elena Rybakina on Friday evening, takes on Donna Vekic for a place in Sunday’s showpiece.
