MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

It was scramble to the finish as Nottingham and ‘s-Hertogenbosch both had rain issues on Saturday.

Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu finished their Nottingham semi; Karolina Pliskova and Diane Parry started theirs. And then the final. An impressive day from Boulter.

In ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Bianca Andreescu was happily through. And she awaited the winner of Alexandrova v Samsonova, which was halted at one set all Saturday. It was Samsonova, and she proved. little too good in the end, denying Andreescu a title on her 24th birthday.

The Cana-Kiwis, Erin Routliffe and Gabriela Dabrowski, played a semi and a final and took the title in Dabrowski’s first tournament back since Miami.

(‘s-Hertogenbosch and Berlin are 6 hours ahead of EDT; Nottingham and Birmingham 5 hours)
