    Boulter struggling. After the Lord Mayor’s show I think.

    Needs to find her game quickly having lost 6-1 in the first set.

    Definitely after the Lord Mayor's show for Katie today.
    She started badly and then fell away and Vekic was solid and won without breaking sweat, shame as Boulter was excellent yesterday.

    Two wins for Raducanu today and the semi final win against the World number 9 surprised me as Jovic has had a brilliant year yet Emma bullied her and showed what a good grass player she can be.
    I was surpriced Raducanu beat Cirstea and even more surprised she beat Jovic - especially with no rest days in the past few days and 2 matches only 2.5  hours apart today and a fall. Back up to world 31

    Hopefully Vekic doesn’t spoil the home soil party two days in a row. Would love to see Emma win the title.

    fair play to Katie,she had a good week,but to serve so many double faults is always going to get you in trouble.it is like starting every service game 15-30 love down.Made even worse when her opponent didnt give her a sniff of a break.Emma was superb,thought she would suffer in the semi after her injury in the earlier game,but she looked fine and really outclassed a very good young player.No reason why she cannot be champion tomorrow.
    Excellent week for Emma - has surpassed everyone's expectations. Hopefully wins today.

    Vekic outclassing Raducanu in first set.

    Outclassed is an understatement

    Embarrassing first set.

    Credit to Raducanu for turning things around in second set.

    Can see Raducanu losing this in two if she loses the next game.

    that missed dropshot could be the gift that keeps giving

    However this finishes, Raducanu can take a lot of confidence from this 2nd set

    whenever Vekic hits through the ball with confidence she usually wins the point

    Raducanu will be disappointed not to have closed out the second set when leading. Second set was certainly a battle between them.

    i think the longer the 2nd set lasted the more the love first set was significant

    Disappointing today but overall a good week for Emma which will hopefully set her up for a decent run at Wimbledon.

    Cash and Glasspool lost their semifinal at Queens earlier today.

    Their form has been distinctly patchy this season so looking remote for retaining their title at Wimbledon this year.

    Henry Searle wins the Challenger Event at Dublin. Hopefully the 20 year old can start climbing up the rankings.

    Draper back in action at Eastbourne next week - have to hope he stays injury free. Plenty of Brits in action.

    Disappointing he wasn't given a wildcard. Getting through three qualifying rounds will be a challenge given how little he's played this season.

    Choinski and Pinnington-Jones both win their opening round matches at Eastbourne. No joy for the women - Jones and Klugman both lose.

    Fery and Hussey win their opening games at Eastbourne but Stewart is knocked out. Dart and Dudeney lose in the women's.

    Toby Samuel through to the last 16 as a lucky loser.

    Toby Samuel through to the QF at Eastbourne after beating Tirante. Gill is in the last 16 as a lucky loser after the withdrawal of Taylor Fritz.

    Two all British clashes in the last 16 will guarantee at least three Brits in the last 8. Choinski faces Gill and Draper faces Pinnington-Jones.

    Dan Evans loses to Schoolkate in straight sets at Wimbledon qualifiers. Sad end to his  career - surely deserved a wildcard?

    Feels like someone at the LTA didn't take kindly to his constructive criticism from a few years back.

    Four Brits in action at the final round of Wimbledon qualifying. Heather Watson in the women's and Harris, Tarvet and Basing in the men's.
