Emma Raducanu became the first British woman to reach the final at Queen's Club for 56 years, defeating Iva Jovic 6-2 6-2 in the semi-final.

What happened?

Raducanu was in scintillating form, downing Jovic in front of a raucous Andy Murray Arena.

She had earlier cruised past Kamilla Rakhimova 6-3 7-5 in the quarter-finals, despite needing a medical time-out for a heavily-bandaged left thigh.

Why it matters for Emma Raducanu

Raducanu showed no signs of discomfort against Jovic, making it through to her first-ever grass court final.

The British No. 1 was tasked with coming through two matches in a day to reach the Queen's Club showpiece after heavy rain earlier in the week condensed the playing schedule.

What comes next?

Raducanu will face Donna Vekic in the final, after Vekic brought Katie Boulter's impressive run to a halt at the semi-final stage.

Boulter was making her first last-four appearance at Queen's but failed to replicate the magic that saw her battle past world No.2 Elena Rybakina on Friday.

The world No 73 has taken a lot from this week, however, and remains confident about the remainder of the grass court season.

Raducanu's forehand proved to be a major weapon, as she took the first set 6-2 and then saw out the game in style.

The crucial moment in the match came in the second set when down 0-40 in the fifth game, Jovic failed to convert three break points as Raducanu moved into a 4-1 lead.

Raducanu's win means she will attempt to follow in the footsteps of Ann Jones, the last British female winner at Queen’s in 1969.

The women’s draw was not part of the programme between 1974 and 2024, but Raducanu's success has brought excitement to the tournament.

Raducanu's opponent, Donna Vekic, cruised to a 6-1 6-3 win over Katie Boulter in just 66 minutes.

Boulter remains confident about the remainder of the grass court season, saying 'my game is moving in the right direction'.

The final will be a highly anticipated match, with Raducanu looking to make history and Vekic seeking to spoil the party.

The crowd will be eagerly awaiting the match, which promises to be an exciting encounter between two talented players.

Raducanu's success has been a highlight of the tournament, and she will be looking to cap off an impressive week with a win in the final.

The stage is set for a thrilling final, with Raducanu and Vekic ready to battle it out for the title.
