Croatia's Donna Vekic resisted a gutsy fightback by Emma Raducanu in front of a partisan crowd to claim the Queen's Club title with a 6-0 7-6 (8-6) win in a high-quality final in London.
Vekic, who got into the main draw as a lucky loser after defeat in qualifying, needed five match points to finally end Briton Raducanu's resistance and win her first title since 2023.
Raducanu, who reached the final without dropping a set, was given vociferous support throughout but fell just short of landing her first title since her fairytale run at the US Open in 2021 as a teenaged qualifier.
