MYSTERIOUS: Why emma raducanu will play twice in one day after storming into queens quarter finals | Mind Blowing Facts

  • British number one Emma Raducanu secured her place in the HSBC Championships quarter-finals for the second consecutive year, defeating Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-4 6-2 at the Queen’s Club.
  • Raducanu displayed an animated and confident performance, establishing an early 4-0 lead in the first set and securing a double break in the second set to comfortably close out the match.
  • Fellow British player Katie Boulter also advanced to the last eight, overcoming Jaqueline Cristian 6-1 6-3, guaranteeing at least two Britons will compete in Friday’s quarter-final matches later today.
  • The packed schedule on Friday was a direct consequence of all Thursday’s matches being postponed due to a washout, necessitating the British singles hopefuls to play their last-16 clashes.
  • Katie Boulter is now set to face top-seeded Elena Rybakina in the quarter-finals, following Rybakina's hard-fought victory over reigning HSBC champion Tatjana Maria in a three-set encounter.
