Cheered on by a partisan ​home crowd, Britain’s Emma Raducanu ‌battled past Uzbekistan’s Kamilla Rakhimova ​to reach the ⁠Queen’s Club Championships semifinals on Saturday and set up a ‌clash later in the day against American ‌teenage sensation Iva Jovic.

Unseeded ‌Raducanu ⁠looked in control until ⁠a slip early in the second set required treatment on ​her thigh, but ‌she dug in to complete a 6-3, 7-5 victory.

The quarterfinal match had been ‌held over from Friday ​after dismal weather earlier in the week ⁠had snagged the schedule.

Sixth seed Jovic, 18, will be ‌a formidable challenge for Raducanu later with the youngster in confident mood after beating fellow American and second seed Amanda ‌Anisimova in three sets on Friday.

There ​is still the possibility of an all-British final ⁠at the grass-court event with ⁠Katie Boulter facing Croatia’s lucky loser from ‌qualifying Donna Vekic in the day’s opening semi.
