Emma Raducanu is all set to lock horns with compatriot Francesca Jones in a highly anticipated quarter-final clash for the locals on Saturday, June 15 at the 2024 Rothesay Open.

Tennis star  Raducanu has had an incredible journey to Nottingham, despite his poor form in 2024. Notably, she thrashed Ena Shibahara comfortably in the opening round of her campaign, 6-1, 6-4. In addition, she faced Daria Snigur and went up a notch fast in the second round. She easily won the opening set, and a second break proved to be the game-changer.

On the other hand, Jones shocked eighth seed Caroline Dolehide in the opening round of her local campaign, winning 7-6 (3), 6-3. In addition, she faced off against fellow American Ashlym Krueger. Jones quickly levelled the score after Kruger took an early lead. It was Jones' time to go up the break courtesy of a spectacular shot after surviving a tight couple of games. She continues to serve as the first one to place herself in the quarters.
