Emma Raducanu faces double matches after Queen’s Club scheduling issues

Summary

Emma Raducanu's participation in the Queen’s Club tournament has drawn heavy criticism due to scheduling delays. Following a rainout on Thursday, Raducanu won her round of 16 match against Sorana Cîrstea 6-4, 6-2 but was forced to wait for her quarterfinal against Kamilla Rakhimova, which has been delayed. Both Raducanu and Rybakina were originally set to play two matches on the same day. Fans have expressed outrage at the tournament's prioritization of broadcasting contracts over player welfare, as Raducanu will now need to play two matches on Saturday while her semifinal opponent will be fully rested. If she faces elimination similar to Rybakina, the backlash from fans could intensify.
