Raducanu wins twice in a day to reach Queen's final

Britain's Emma Raducanu produced two superb victories in a day at Queen's to reach her first grass-court final.

The 2021 US Open champion overcame an injury scare to beat Kamilla Rakhimova 6-3 7-5 in her weather-delayed quarter-final early on Saturday afternoon.

The British number one returned to Andy Murray Arena a little over two and a half hours later and dispatched highly-rated American teenager Iva Jovic 6-2 6-2.

Raducanu, who went into Queen's seeking to regain her top form after a disrupted season, jumped for joy on sealing her victory, raising her arms to the sky in celebration as the crowd rose to applaud her.

She has not dropped a set on her run to the final and has thrived on the pressure of being the home favourite, beating two players ranked in the world's top 20.

"It means everything be doing this here at Queen's," Raducanu told BBC TV. "The whole day has been electric.

"This week has been incredible, I really enjoy playing here and that shows in my tennis.

"Ask any British player and they would love to lift the title here. We've been through some tough moments in the last few months but have been putting in the hard work and I want to thank my team for helping me get into the final."
