    I am so impressed with Emma’s spirit. I was really worried after the first set. Whatever happens, she’s shown some fight here. I’d love a third set to see what she can do.

    That service hold oozes experience and now Vekic is one game away from the title.

    Vekic looks exhausted, but holds with more powerful serving that Raducanu can't deal with and a brilliant forehand winner.

    Raducanu will now serve to stay in this final.

    Those legs must be hurting a bit for Donna Vekic because she has done a lot of running, literally hurling herself at the ball.

    And just like that, Raducanu's two-break advantage evaporates.

    Radaucanu finds the tramlines and we're all square.

    Huge credit to Vekic for stopping the rot.

    Raducanu earns advantage and another set point with as whipped forehand across Vekic, but the Croat beats her with an excellent looping shot over the top as Raducanu came short.

    Raducanu tries a drop shot, but Vekic gets there and wins the point.

    Advantage Vekic.

    It's getting quite physical this match. You can tell by the reaction of both players after each point. This is turning into a battle royale at the Queen's Club.

  8. Set point Raducanupublished at 15:01 BST 14 June

    Vekic 6-0 4-5 Raducanu*

    Big mistake from Donna Vekic, who was in control of a rally but hit the net with an under-hit backhand drop shot.

    Raducanu shows great hustle, running all over the court after Vekic recovered from a drop shot, but then nets after another long rally.

    A Raducanu backhand shot across court forces Vekic to net and we have set point. The Brit clips the net, and Vekic smashes in. Deuce.

    There is not a lot Donna Vekic has not seen so I don't think she was about to start panicking when she was a double break down in the second set.

    That is a really robust hold from 0-30.

    Vekic recovers superbly with a forehand to the corner. That's an impressive hold for the under-pressure Croatian.

    *Vekic 6-0 3-5 Raducanu

    Vekic is hitting the net far too often now, which is great news for Raducanu.

    Raducanu is doing exactly what her coach told her - neutralise the first serve down the middle and then hit for the corners.

    30-30.

    Questions have often been asked about Raducanu's spirit. Has she got the heart for the fight? Is she resilient enough to come through tough situations?

    This week she has shown she does possess that vital ingredient for any elite player.

    The way which she has recovered in this second set is admirable and a positive sign for the future - however today turns out.

    Raducanu saves all three break points, the second slightly fortunately clipping the net, before Vekic can only find the net with a service return.

    Deuce.

    Raducanu is feeding off the crowd and starting to play her best tennis again.

    Vekic is having to do an awful lot more running than she had to in the first set.

    She was a one-strike wonder in the first set with her thunderous groundstrokes that shocked Raducanu but now Emma has been able to get on to the front foot and move her around.

    Vekic looks a little shellshocked by what is going on here.

    A totally different vibe here now.

    Raducanu looks like the player she's been all week, moving much better and asking more questions of Vekic.

    Vekic, clearly, isn't painting lines like she was earlier. She's not enjoying being moved about in the now longer rallies.

    The crowd have got their mojo back too. Those fruity cocktails are loosening the vocal cords.
