Katie Boulter vs. Emma Raducanu | 2024 Nottingham Semifinal | WTA Match Highlights 

Everyone Talking about Tsitsipas and Badosa but De Minaur / Boulter is overlooked. They both won a title this week !!!!

Katie Boulter is the reigning champion of Nottingham - and she demonstrated why today 🎾.

Can't help but rooting hard for Boulter, the British number 1!!!!

Difference between the two players today was that Boulter was more incisive - going for winners. Radacanu seemed too ready to simply get the ball back into court more often than not and that gave Boulter the chance of strike……

Well done Katie Boulter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Going to be an interesting final. Two similar styles.

WTA still capping uploads at 720p to make it look like a 70s vintage reel. Good job

It was a different Raducanu who turned up to complete the match today compared to set one on Saturday evening, and it's a shame these highlights don't capture the brilliance of that first set. There was barely a hair's breadth between them who would win, but in the tiebreak Raducanu started to show signs of edging ahead. As each came to a set point only to be hauled back by their opponent, it was Boulter who found herself in the position of being about to lose the set the most times, with Raducanu having 6 set points to Boulter's 3. It was a great match up to that point, but unfortunately the court was becoming damp and too dangerous to play on. Sunday's contest was comparatively flat from both players, but well done to Katy Boulter for getting through and defending her title.

Boulter favorite to win the title

Really not that much between them. Emma should have an idea of where her level is now - just needs to get the reps in. Congrats to Katie - I do like to see champions defend their titles...

She finally brought Emma down to earth............lol.........

Beatriz Haddad Maia já ganhou esse torneio ❤😊🎉 Parabéns! Katie Boulter.

raducanu keeps hitting some sitting duck short shots, like the match point one that are impossible to miss

Not a bad tournament for WTA's no. 165. I hope she can continue this level for the entire season and she will end up being top 50 again.

I am starting to wonder, why cant sponsors invest more in Katie? I mean shes hot, has a good work ethic and plays consistently? I mean, the ROI is going to be great!

Thank you WTA for showing both players on the thumbnail.

Both beautiful and talented players, great battle between two players I root for!

I stayed up late to watch this live. Both players did a good job. Emma got some great passing shots by Boulter, but Katie just played more aggressively and seemed to have more power to her shots. You could feel a shift in Katie's favor midway in the second set when she started sending back those rocket returns on Emma's second serve. Unfortunately, Emma could not do the same on Katie's second serves. Emma lacks a certain power in her playing; it looks like she's getting pushed around sometimes. Imagine what someone like Osaka or Swiatek would do to her 🙄

Boulter tenia la presion de demostrar de que ella es la indiscutible N1 del tenis britanico femenino y lo hizo.

What we could say about this match suits most women's matches: IF a player (Boulter) didn't miss that much, that would be an easy win for this one, Raducanu absolutely inoffensive, only hitting in the middle and Boulter kept on giving the double of unforced errors.

Boulter has a boyfriend who is also a pro tennis player, as you can see the result

nice jump in the Rankings for Emma , Bianca was something like in the 300's and she's only been back for 7 or so matches and is now a higher Seed than Emma as of June 17th

When Emma actually managed to get to the net, her volleys were sent straight to Boulter's racket, even when she had an open court to aim at. She is adapting her serve but she's not going to win many matches unless the first serve gets in. The second serve is so weak it gets hammered back easily .. The look on Emma's coach near the end said it all and Emma no longer seems upset when she loses, it's almost as if she expects it, and that is really the state of play with her at the moment. I still think she can pull it around and re-set her game, but the absence of permanent coach and her 'go it alone' mentality looks self defeating when the results don't improve.

Anyone else here also think that Emma should have gone a size bigger for her top?

Only 5 and a half minute highlights, and you waste nearly 30 seconds showing Boulter walking to her chair after the second set. Are you serious?

Emma’s coach will be forwarding his calls to VM, must be time to change him. It has been a while since a coach change. If Katie was better at converting break points this would have been a stroll for her.

Emma looked like she was battling hard while katie was like i could go anyother couple sets.

Very nice ❤️🎾

Emma rejected the wild card to participate to the Jo Paris. It said it all

Raducanu's forehand prep always looks late to me compared to a lot of the top players. It's like she's semi prepared but then her full preparation happens late. She doesn't seem to have time to get any weight transfer into the shot.

Boulter will be disappointed to have lost that 1st set yesterday against a 200+ ranked player. It will make final match tougher with limited rest time. If she wants to stay in the top 50 she will need to turn these low level players consistently

That sky-high dropshot on break point in the third set...Just why?

People seemed to forget this match got suspended. Emma played the tiebreak very well, it took me by surprise. I think the match would spell out differently if it's not suspended tbh, but still, a great encounter for the two

Classic British ladies' tennis. Neither girl had the killer instinct to get the job done without any fuss.

Uploaded the old Betamax footage I see. Rough!

They played this match like it was on hard court or clay. Come on girls attack the net, or your not going far at Wimbledon, this is where you should be practising for the big one next week at this minor tournament.

Their hand shake in the end looked plain considering they're friends! Anyways go ladies ❤️❤️

0:10 0:24 0:28,0:46,1:48,3:58, 0:58 1:06,2:02 1:16 1:32,2:22, 1:44 1:58,2:12,2:34,2:46,3:06,3:20,3:34,4:12 2:56, 3:54, 4:26

4:08 that was a disgusting drop shot from Emma 😂😂😂

THIS IS ME, you all wont agree: I HATE when players point at their heads when they win a point or even a match, as if the other players are less able to using their minds. ONLY for this reason I am SO glad Emma lost. Congrats to Katie either way.

Katie 😍😍😍

❤

Well done Katie!!!!Congratulations!!!! Sorry to say but some people are still stuck with Emma and not appreciating the victory for Katie…Quite sad…

Great Tennis from Katie, her serve has improved a lot in such a short period of time and her forehand is so strong. She’ll be heading for the top 10 soon if she keeps progressing like this - she loves the grass so she could cause a few upsets at Wimby if she keeps this form up. Emma did well here too, she kept fighting, her balance is exceptional and her serve is slowly improving - it’s only the bitter, insecure people on social media that are so hard on her. She’s still only 21 - players progress at different rates, Emma will get there.

Maybe if Emma played qualifiers instead of taking each and every wild card offered, she might mentally and physically be in better shape to have beaten Katie. Thankfully Katie handled her and won 😊

Katie is cute 😍

the quality of the video and the bitrate is horrible, in full screen the ball disappears from frame to frame...

Emma returns the ball consistently straight back to her opponent (centre court especially) and allows her opposition to put her under pressure when their return comes back placed AWAY from her! It is a consistent weakness of an otherwise excellent player. Surely her coach should identify and remedy this basic weakness.

Good job emma winning shot..❤❤

Sinceramente a veces ya da pena verla jugar... 🤷‍♂️😢

4:10 wtf moment

Longer highlights for Nottingham than for Roland Garros, bloody hell....

Good battle. Hope to see more of Emma.

Katie was playing to win . Emma was playing to not lose . Emma never had a chance .

Good job done by the English girl 😊

Wow. Sweet ride to this depth in the tournament- Does her management own this tournament too?

Both players use Wilson blades.

Emma should have realised that all short returns were being punished, should have kept Katie at the base line as far as possible..

Not there people…Emma is good but for me 25 to 40 good, she will never be inside the top 20. Although with her looks and personality, she will still make more millions than your average top 10 player.

Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter on the same court is tennis paradise 🙃

Poor Emma, ​​she can't win more than two matches in a row.

Emma WildCardNU😁....Onwards to the next tournament

No hug? I thought they play on the same GB team.

Emma always brain farts at the net hitting right back to the opponent instead of the open court. She needs to fix this ASAP if she wants to win more tight matches. Also those half-hearted drop shots just won't cut it, either commit fully to it with a deep slice or don't do it.

I guess skipping the French Open didn't really help much.

chronicle of an end

Stating the obvious I know, but the best player won.

The editing on these highlights is terrible. It's jarring to cut from the close-up serve to the full court view. I don't like it

Emma had all the momentum yesterday, I think she should have asked them to dry the court instead of asking to stop. Katie had enough time to bounce back - mentally unlikely she would have yesterday from losing a 80 minute set.

Oh yes, it’s the one month of the year when Raducanu remembers she's a tennis player 🙄. Pity she's so salty when she loses now though

Congrats Katie! I guess skipping the fo because she didnt get a wild card didnt help raducanu much. Now we see why she didnt get it. All marketing, no results. Time to say goodbye to her coach.

When Emma the finger touch her head , really she look Show off. And then her lose 😂😂👎🏻

01:35 🤓How come the smartest player lost?😁😆 Impossible!😂😍

It seems to me that Katie and Alex are playing in collusion😌

So quiet without Screamalenka!!!😂😂😂

I knew Raducanu could not win against a seated player like Boulter!😊 She bare wins against 100-160 ranked players!😮

Good run by Raducanu but she easily choked at the end. Mental pressure. Boulter had nothing to lose so for her it was easier to concentrate. It is a good start for Raducanu but she needs to get better at closing out matches.

Katie just had a better serve throughout the match. Big serves, not a lot of 1st serve faults, and emma just couldn't return them.

😮

Oh well---time to change coaches.

ラヅカヌチャソ好き　😻

Random thought: did anyone else look at the stands and thought that Keeley, from Ted Lasso, should be amongst the crowd? 😵‍💫

When I saw that it was so windy on the court. I knew Raducanu would lose 2 consecutive sets. I saw her play in windy conditions a couple of years ago and she played terribly. Today was not different. She played so much below par in every aspect. Hope that weather will be fine at Eastbourne and Wimbledon! She would then be surprisingly good.

Katie and Alex win tournaments in different countries at the same time for the second time. Must be an omen.

Grass is a disgrace. If you got cracks and holes on hard courts, would you just continue playing? don't you treat clay courts from time to time? Well, here you have grass on day 1 only, and then whatever is underneath. Should be banned.

Boulter is quite attractive. And she has a big game. Will be a very interesting final. But I think she moves better than Pliskova.

A closely contested match, with neither player giving or asking favour. With KB being the defending Nottingham champion and having progressed further at WIMBY (grass) than EMMA, it's apparent KB is the better on this surface. EMMA may have the 'upper hand' on the hard courts !!

Every body is missing the main reason Katie is getting better, she has a pro tennis boyfriend

This showcases UK women’s tennis level at the moment. Good grief!

It was really amazing to watch the duel of these top British tennis competitors on home soil. If the rain hadn't occurred in the end of the first set, we would have definitely watched more nail-biting contests in this arduous encounter.

Annoying commentator - Masters degree in stating the obvious

IAM not surprised she turned down the Olympics games ,she turned down french open both on clay , which she doesn't want to risk her body on a difficult surface a right call by her both times. As Nadal had to on missing Wimbledon

Emma needs a more powerful racquet. Her shots land short often.

Spoiler blocker, your welcome 🤣

Rada just doesant have it anymore

Hilarious handshake. Raducanu seems to be salty after every loss now

Randycandy is really good at falling down to get sympathy from the crowd. She must have gone to the same stuntperson school as Andreescu.

I would love to see Emma play mixed doubles with Andy at Wimbledon. They both said two years ago that they would like to, but it never happened. The Wimbledon crowd would love it, and it would be special as it is likely to be Andy's last Wimbledon.

Hm, quite good, quite good. One of them could win one of the GSs in the near future.

I paid attention this time and noticed that in this Raducanu hating thread, anybody who says something that makes sense, is ignored. No Likes, no acknowledgement. Yes, I've already read the whole thing.

Says the guys that never played a game in their lives😂
