Katie Boulter's bid for Nottingham treble ended by American McCartney Kessler
Katie Boulter's reign as the queen of Nottingham is over after she lost in the quarter-finals to McCartney Kessler. Boulter was gunning for a third successive Nottingham Open crown, having won in 2023 and 2024, but came unstuck against the world number 42 with victory in sight. The British number two was 4-3 up with a break of serve in the final set, but lost the last three games, including her serve twice, to go down 6-3 3-6 6-4. That saw her 12-match winning run on her home court come to an end. American Kessler said: 'It was a really tight match, it was close. I wanted to stay within myself and keep playing my game and luckily I came out on top. 'We are both aggressive players, so there was a lot of shot-making. 'I am trying to get as many titles as I can and put myself in the position to win titles. I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend.' She will play Linda Noskova or Rebecca Sramkova in Saturday's semi-finals. Dayana Yastremska will play Magda Linette in the other semi-final.

Leylah Fernandez cruises into Nottingham Open quarter-finals
Canadian fifth seed Leylah Fernandez cruised to the quarter-finals of the Nottingham Open after a 6-3 6-4 win over Spain's Cristina Bucsa. The 2021 US Open runner-up dominated the first set and overcame a spirited challenge from Bucsa in the second to secure her spot in the last eight. "Cristina's an amazing player and a great fighter. The last few times I played against her, it has always been a battle, so I knew today was going to be hard," Fernandez said. "I'm just happy with the way that I was able to start the match and then also maintain throughout the set and the second set. I was happy that I was able to be positive and use the crowd for me during important moments." The 22-year-old Fernandez will next face Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska, who earned her quarter-final berth with a 6-2 2-6 6-4 win over Croatian qualifier Antonia Ruzic. Slovakia's Rebecca Sramkova staged a comeback to beat fourth seed Yulia Putintseva 6-1 4-6 6-4, marking her first tour-level grass-court quarter-final. Putintseva had been aiming to avenge last month's Strasbourg Open loss to Sramkova but faltered despite taking the first set with ease. Sramkova will next play Czech seventh seed Linda Noskova, who registered an easy 6-1 6-3 win over British wildcard Francesca Jones.
