Emma Raducanu flies into Queen’s semi-finals despite ‘insane’ interruption
- British tennis enjoyed a strong Friday at the HSBC Championships in London, as Katie Boulter secured a semi-final berth with an upset over top seed Elena Rybakina, while Emma Raducanu progressed to the quarter-finals.
- A complete washout of Thursday's play at the Queen's Club necessitated a packed schedule, forcing all three British singles contenders to navigate their postponed last-16 clashes during the tournament's second edition.
- Boulter prevailed in a two-hour and 39-minute triumph over Rybakina, claiming the best win of her career by rankings while saving 11 break points across the three sets.
- Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, defeated Kamilla Rakhimova 6-3 7-5 on Saturday, though the weather-plagued tournament forced the British number one to play twice after Friday's postponement.
- In the semi-finals, Boulter will face Croatian Donna Vekic, while Raducanu prepares to play American Iva Jovic later on Saturday following her earlier Queen's victory.
