Heather Watson vs Elena Rybakina live: Queen’s Club tennis scores before Emma Raducanu in action

Early set back for the Brit as she’s broken in the opening game, with the fourth seed consolidating with a hold of serve…

Watson benefits from a deft net cord to drag the game back to 30-30, but Rybakina finds a big forehand winner at 40-30 to take the first set!

The fourth seed a set up here!

Last chance saloon for Watson in this first set… can she find a break?

Rybakina serves for the first set!

First blood to the Kazakh!

She has a break advantage in the first set…

On serve early on in the second match on Andy Murray Arena!

A solid start from the British qualifier against the fourth seed and 2022 Wimbledon champion!

Diana Shnaider says, “Katie is such a lovely person, I love her with all my heart. To play her and beat her in front of her home crowd, I’m so sorry! I hope you don’t hate me too much and come support me tomorrow!”

Shnaider beat Boulter to the Hong Kong Open title last autumn, too.

Two more Brits will hope to avoid Boulter’s fate today. Heather Watson is up first, against former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, before Emma Raducanu – who will overtake Boulter as the British No 1 – plays Rebecca Sramkova.

The pair exchange a lovely hug at the net before Boulter is applauded off the court.

‘QFs grass’ Shnaider writes on the lens. She’ll play Australian Open champion Madison Keys in the last eight.

Another Boulter error as she sends a return long, and Shnaider is into the quarter-finals.

After a blistering first set, Boulter’s serve just fell apart, and you’d have to say that’s had an outsize impact on this match.

Boulter sweeps a backhand into the net. Shnaider has two match points.
