Cameron Norrie is out of Queen’s after the British No 1 was defeated by Sebastian Korda in straight sets in the quarter-finals.
Norrie was targeting a home victory ahead of Wimbledon but was outgunned by the big-serving American, who won the second-set tiebreak 7-1 to wrap up a 6-4 7-6 win. His defeat means there will be no British interest, in singles or doubles, going into the weekend at Queen’s Club for the first time since 2012.
Korda will play top seed Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals after the top seed reached his first semi-final on grass with a 6-4 6-4 win over former Queen’s champion Grigor Dimitrov in the last match of the day.
Alex de Minaur became the first player through to the final four after holding off the challenge of Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in three sets. The Australian will play second seed Holger Rune after the 20-year-old prevailed against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets.
