Britain’s Emma Raducanu advances to the final of the Queen’s Club Championship after a sequence of straight-sets victories on grass. She begins her campaign with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Anna Blinkova in the opening round, described by reports as a dominant start to her grass-court season and part of her Wimbledon build-up. In the second round, Raducanu records a further straight-sets win over Sorana Cirstea, winning 6-4, 6-2. She then reaches the later stages after victories over other opponents; one BBC report notes she defeats Kamilla Rakhimova and Iva Jovic to secure a place in the final. In the final match, Raducanu claims a 6-2, 6-2 win against Iva Jovic, which multiple outlets frame as her first-ever grass-court final at Queen’s. Another report describes her route as involving “tough moments,” while still highlighting her ability to progress through quarter-final and semi-final matches.
