Emma Raducanu is through to her first semi-final since 2022 after Fran Jones withdrew from their Nottingham Open quarter-final.
Raducanu has looked in good form on her return after a six-week hiatus to prepare for the grass-court season, beating Ena Shibahara and Daria Snigur on her way to the last eight. A quarter-final with Jones was waiting on Saturday afternoon, but her British compatriot has had to withdraw due to a shoulder injury. That sets up an all-British blockbuster between Raducanu and defending champion Katie Boulter later on Saturday.
'Hopefully everyone can understand that with the big events coming up, I'm not in a position to be taking many risks especially with my last couple of years. 'I think it's a massive shame, I've really enjoyed playing this week and I've played at a good level, but I need to continue to think big picture which has got me into the place I'm in so far this year.
