Rain forces scheduling changes for Emma Raducanu at Queen's

Persistent rain has disrupted the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club, pushing Emma Raducanu's quarterfinal match against Kamilla Rakhimova to Saturday.

Raducanu advanced to the quarterfinals with straight-set wins over Anna Blinkova and Sorana Cirstea. Her match against Cirstea was moved from Thursday to Friday because of the weather.

After the 6-4, 6-2 victory on Friday, organizers shifted the quarterfinal to Saturday due to broadcast constraints. This adjustment could require Raducanu to play her semifinal on the same day if she wins.

Other quarterfinal results were completed on Friday, with Iva Jovic, Katie Boulter and Donna Vekic advancing. Vekic reached the semifinals after a 42-hour delayed win over Marie Bouzkova and a victory against Karolina Pliskova.

The tournament has faced repeated rain delays since the start, including a full washout on Thursday that compressed the schedule.
