Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter will face off in the semi-finals of the Nottingham Open, with the winner advancing to play against Karolina Pliskova in the final. Pliskova has yet to lose a match at this tournament, having defeated Diane Parry of France in a hard-fought victory that saw her secure her place in the final. Despite dropping the first set in a tie-break, Pliskova displayed resilience and determination to clinch her victory.
Inclement weather has been a major disruptor throughout the week, with rain delays forcing players to pause their matches. Raducanu and Boulter were unable to complete their semi-final on Saturday, leading to its rescheduling for Sunday afternoon. The winner of that match will face Pliskova in the final, adding to the intensity of the competition.
Pliskova, who overcame top seed Ons Jabeur in the quarter-finals, is aiming to secure her second Nottingham Open title, following her previous triumph in 2016. The seasoned player is prepared to rest, refuel, and gear up for the final showdown, eager to add another title to her collection.
