Day six: Harris lights up Eastbourne to reach first ATP semi-final while Boulter, Dart and Raducanu exit  

We're back for the sixth day of the 2024 Rothesay International Eastbourne and we've got a bumper day in store the Brits. Billy Harris's whirlwind summer continues as he pulled off a comeback win to reach his first ATP tour-level semi-final, while Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu and Harriet Dart suffered defeat in the final eight.

British No.1 Boulter's journey in Eastbourne ended in the quarter-finals as she bowed out to this year's Roland Garros runner-up Jasmine Poalini 6-1, 7-6(0).

The windy conditions made it tough for both players today but a double fault from the Boulter racket gifted the Italian the first break of serve before repeating the same mistake at 5-1 to give Poalini the chance to serve out the set.

The two-time Rothesay Open champion faced a gruelling service game at 2-3, which eventually saw the world No.7 get the first breakthrough of the second. However, Boulter needed just one break point opportunity to claw back to level terms as she forced the tie-break, which saw Poalini take complete control. Having won six points in a row, the Roland Garros runner-up slammed down an ace to eventually clock her fifth career win on the grass. 

Boulter will now turn her attention to Wimbledon where she'll enter as a seeded player for the first time in her career.

British No.2 Dart was beaten 6-2, 6-1 by 2021 US Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez, who has shone on her debut in Eastbourne.

The pair had met only once before, with their last meeting in Montreal back in 2021 going the way of the Brit. Since then, Fernandez has skyrocketed up the WTA rankings and added three tour-level titles to her repertoire.

Dart got off to the perfect start - breaking the world No.30 to 15 on her opening service game before she responded immediately by breaking back. Fernandez looked to pile the pressure on Dart's service games and it paid off, as he won 62% of return points off the Brit's first serve, and broke the 27-year-old five times to reach her first semi-final on the grass.

Fernandez will next face reigning champion Madison Keys, who earlier received a walkover after Karolina Muchova withdrew from the tournament due to a right wrist injury.

Meanwhile Raducanu closed out Thursday's British action but unfortunately fell short against Daria Kasatkina 6-2, 6-2.

The former US Open champion was forced to leave her emphatic comeback victory over world No.5 Jessica Pegula behind as she returned to court to face last year's runner-up Kasatkina.

While both players struggled to adapt to the blustery conditions, it was the world No.14 who coped better - converting seven of the 13 break point opportunities she conjured up to eventually glide to ease to victory.

Despite the disappointment for Raducanu, she'll be able to carry some confidence with her into Wimbledon where she's received a main draw wild card.

Men's draw: Harris reached maiden ATP semi-final after comeback win 

Harris's dream summer continues as the world No.139 booked his place to a career-first ATP semi-final after defeating Flavio Cobolli 6-7(3), 7-6(4), 6-2.

After falling on the losing side of an opening set tie-break, Harris was left with work to do in the second. Despite both players catching glimpses of break points, neither refused to budge as we eventually headed to yet another tie-break. Cobolli was the first to edge his nose in-front as he grasped the mini-break but the British No.5 channelled all the energy and momentum from the home crowd to break the Italian twice and force a decider.

The Brit - who's impeccable form on the grass has been rewarded with a wild card to the main draw of Wimbledon - continued to play on the front foot, landing 71% of first serves across the match and striking an impressive 33 winners.

With a spot in the final four on the line, Harris saved his best tennis until the third set as he raced ahead to a 5-2 lead before securing the win with an inch-perfect backhand return to the baseline on his third match point.

Doubles

Over in the men's doubles draw, Neal Skupski has made it back-to-back ATP Finals alongside Kiwi star Michael Venus.

The pair bypassed Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic 6-7(5), 6-2, 10-8 to close in on a spot in the finals, just days after the pair were crowned cinch Championships doubles champions for the first time.

Skupski and Venus will tomorrow compete for the silverware when they take on all-Australian duo John Peers and Matthew Ebden, after they edged Britain's Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara 6-7(11), 7-6(4), 10-5.

Wheelchair

Five British wheelchair players earned victory on the opening day of the wheelchair draw in Eastbourne with Alfie Hewett, Ben Bartram, Andrew Penney, Andy Lapthorne and Lucy Shuker all stunning at Devonshire Park.

With a men’s wheelchair tennis draw featuring at Eastbourne for the first time this year, world No. 2 Hewett and Bartram both earned 6-2, 6-1 victories over Gordon Reid and Dahnon Ward respectively.

Penney beat Asif Abbasi of Pakistan 6-0, 6-2 to book himself a men’s singles semi-final against Argentinian second seed Gustavo Fernandez.

World No.7 Lapthorne faces a tough quad singles semi-final against world No.1 Sam Schroder of the Netherlands after defeating Colombia’s Daniel Campaz 6-1, 6-2, while Shuker made a fine start to her women’s singles campaign by defeating the USA’s Maylee Phelps 6-3, 6-4.
