Emma Raducanu and Donna Vekic will face off in the 2026 Queen’s Club Championship in what will be a first-ever career meeting between the pair.

World No 42 Raducanu had to play two matches on Saturday following weather delays as she defeated lucly loser Kamilla Rakhimova 6-3, 7-5 in the quarter-final and world No 19 Jovic 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-final to reach her third career final.

“It means everything to be making the final here and to be making it at home in London. I love London. It’s my home. It’s where I grew up. It’s everything to me,” she said.

“So to be receiving the amount of support that I do here, it’s very emotional, and yeah, I’m just really proud of myself.”

The British No 1 is looking to win her second top-level title following her 2021 US Open trophy while Vekic – who beat Katie Boulter 6-1, 6-3 – is aiming to win a fifth career trophy, but first since March 2023.

“I’m really grateful that I got another opportunity to play, because I was really excited for the first tournament on grass.

“I knew I was the first Lucky Loser, but on Monday, I was feeling so bad, I was like, Please, I don’t want anyone to pull out today. Then Tuesday I woke up and was feeling better, and I was, like, I feel it’s coming today.

“Yeah, then I was just really happy to be playing again, to be feeling better, and made the most out of it.”
