Emma Raducanu's quarterfinal at the HSBC Championships was briefly paused when RAF planes flew over the court at Queen's Club. The interruption occurred during her match against Kamilla Rakhimova as part of the Trooping the Colour event.
The planes flew overhead during the fifth game while Raducanu prepared to serve. She approached the chair umpire after the first flyover, and a larger formation followed shortly after, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Raducanu recovered from the distraction to win the match 6-3 7-5. She took the first set after breaking serve multiple times and closed out the second set after a brief fightback from Rakhimova.
Rain delays forced Raducanu to play her semifinal against Iva Jovic later the same day. The schedule change left the British player with back-to-back matches while her opponent received an extra day of rest.
