Emma Raducanu suffered a worrying slip during her quarter-final match at Queen\u2019s before ultimately claiming victory.<\/p>\n
The Brit was leading 6-3, 3-1 when she was wrong-footed by Kamilla Rakhimova and fell to the ground.<\/p>\n
She immediately grabbed her inner left thigh as the crowd remained eerily quiet before Raducanu regained her footing and finished the game.<\/p>\n
The 2021 US Open champion then opted for an off-court medical timeout at the following change of ends before returning with her upper left leg heavily strapped.<\/p>\n
Rakhimova then broke back before Raducanu<\/a> failed to serve out the match at the first attempt. However, she did not make the same mistake twice, clinching the second set 7-5.<\/p>\n The Brit will next face Iva Jovic, who defeated compatriot and world No 5 Amanda Anisimova.<\/p>\n Latest Tennis News<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner\u2019s Wimbledon favourite status questioned as Novak Djokovic backed by Grand Slam champion<\/a><\/p>\n Serena Williams and Venus Williams receive major Wimbledon wildcard boost<\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?
