Zheng will play either the third seed Emma Navarro or eighth seed Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals, before a potential final showdown with Australian Open champion Madison Keys or German qualifier Tatjana Maria, who stunned former Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina earlier in the afternoon.

Zheng Qinwen came to the Queen's Club with the goal of making a grass breakthrough and it is safe to say that she has accomplished that after beating Emma Raducanu 6-2 6-4 to make her first semifinal on the surface.

The vibes in London this week have been good for Emma Raducanu. She surpassed Katie Boulter to become the top-ranked British women's player and was powered by local fans through the first two rounds of the HSBC Championships at The Queen's Club.
