Top seed Zheng Qinwen beat home favourite Emma Raducanu 6-2 6-4 to move into the semi-finals at the Queen's Club Championships on Friday while 37-year-old Tatjana Maria upset 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina to reach the last four.

Zheng will play either the third seed Emma Navarro or eighth seed Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals, before a potential final showdown with Australian Open champion Madison Keys or German qualifier Tatjana Maria, who stunned former Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina earlier in the afternoon.

On Thursday at the Queen's Club, top-seeded Zheng struggled against world No. 42 McCartney Kessler and came close to kicking off her grass season with a loss. Fortunately for the Chinese tennis star, she found an escape route and came back from a 1-4 third-set deficit to seal a 6-3 4-6 7-5 win.
