Emma Raducanu loses the Queen’s Club final at Wimbledon warm-up event Queen’s (HSBC Championships) to Donna Vekic in straight sets, ending her bid for a second title. All reports describe Raducanu as the British No 1 and emphasize that the loss extends her trophy drought. According to The Independent, Raducanu falls behind early, dropping the first set 6-0. The match then shifts as Vekic holds her advantage while Raducanu improves, with the second set reaching a tie-break. The Independent says Vekic prevails in that tie-breaker to complete the match in two sets. Other outlets describe the defeat as straight sets and frame it as “Queen’s heartbreak” or a continuation of a five-year wait since Raducanu’s US Open triumph in 2021. While the coverage focuses on the result and the timeline of Raducanu’s previous major success, they consistently identify the final opponent as Donna Vekic and place the match within the Queen’s Championships final on the same day.
