The only one smiling at the end of this gray Friday is probably Katie Boulter. On another day heavily influenced by rain, the British did her best, defeating Magdalena Frech 6-2 6-4 and reaching the semi-final in Nottingham, where the host is the third seed.
In the morning the victories had also arrived Hon Jabeur (6-2 6-1 fast to Linda Fruhvirtova) and the surprising British player Francesca Jonesn°249 WTA, which surprised 6-4 4-6 7-5 Krueger. Both matches, however, were still round of 16 to recover. Jones should have challenged her compatriot in the quarterfinals Emma Raducanuwhile Jabeur was waiting for the super challenge against Karolina Pliskova. Together with them too Parry-Birrell, but none of the three matches were played. The rain in fact forced the organizers to postpone all matches to Saturday. On the day traditionally dedicated to two semi-finals there will be others too three quarters to goforcing the winners to do double shift.
Indeed, some challenges of Nottingham Challengersa men’s tournament held in parallel with the women’s ‘250’ which sees players such as Evans, Kukushkin, Shang and Bellucci on the field, were move indoors. It’s a shame that the surface on which you play is concrete and not grass. The “advanced” doubles from the program, as well as theround of 16 Between Joao Fonseca And Billy Harriswere moved inside so as to be completed in time and align the scoreboards (singles in the quarter-finals, doubles in the semi-finals).
