Andy Murray saluted the fight of Britain’s under-fire female stars as Emma Raducanu was knocked off top spot in the domestic rankings.
Murray remains on course for his first grass court title in seven years after booking a semi-final place at the Surbiton Trophy by beating fifth seed Jason Kubler 3-6 6-3 6-4.
The surprise came in the women’s draw where three Brits reached the semi-finals for the first time in the tournament’s history.
