NOTTINGHAM/STARNBERG, June 15, 2024

Emma Raducanu won an epic 82-minute first set against Katie Boulter, saving three set points in the tie-break before clinching it on her sixth set point to win 15-13. As the court was deemed to be too wet to continue, the all-British semi-final at the Rothesay Nottingham Open will resume on Sunday.

Earlier, Britain’s Fran Jones was forced to withdraw from her quarterfinal against Raducanu due to a shoulder injury. Former Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova from the Czech Republic beat top seed Ons Jabeur of Tunisia 7-6(8), 6-7(3), 7-5 to advance to the last four of the WTA 250 grass-court event. Pliskova’s semi-final against France’s Diane Parry will be played on Sunday.
