Emma Raducanu advances to Queen’s Club final and skips Nottingham Open

Emma Raducanu reached the final of the HSBC Queen’s Club Championships after straight‑set wins over Iva Jovic in the semi‑final and Kamilla Rakhimova in the quarter‑final, maintaining a flawless set record throughout the tournament. In the final she was defeated by Croatia’s Donna Vekić, ending a run that lifted her to world No. 31 and put her in line for a Wimbledon seed.

Following the demanding two‑match day at Queen’s, Raducanu withdrew from the Nottingham Open, citing lingering niggles and the physical load from the previous week. She posted on Instagram that the support in London had been “fuel” but that she needed to rest ahead of the grass‑court season.
