Summary

Emma Raducanu fell just short in the Queens Club final, losing to Donna Vekic 6-0, 7-6 in a thrilling tie-break. Despite saving multiple championship points and showing grit, Raducanu couldn’t close it out — her first title since the 2021 US Open remains elusive. Vekic, a lucky replacement entry, capitalized on her opportunity with a solid grass-court performance, while Raducanu battled early leg issues. Still, she turned things around in the second set, even taking a double-break lead, buoyed by a passionate crowd. The loss won’t dampen her momentum — she’s poised to climb into the top 30, potentially securing a Wimbledon seed. It’s clear she’s building confidence on grass, and though the trophy eluded her, her effort speaks volumes. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
