Britain’s Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart were all beaten in the quarter-finals at Eastbourne.Boulter, attempting to win a second grass-court title this month after Nottingham, lost 6-1 7-6 to Italian third seed Jasmine Paolini.It was the first time since 1978 there had been three British women in the quarter-finals at Eastbourne.
She had reached the last eight by knocking out world number five Jessica Pegula for her first win over a top-10 opponent but she struggled in the blustery conditions against Kasatkina. "The conditions were very tough and I tried to win as many points as I could," said Kasatkina, who set up a semi-final against Paolini.World number 32 Boulter entered her quarter-final in fine form and knowing she will be seeded for the first time at Wimbledon, which begins on Monday.
The British number one forced a tie-break but was beaten to love as her semi-final hopes were dashed.Although unseeded, the Canadian is ranked 75 places higher than Dart at number 30, and made her class tell in a quickfire victory despite losing her first service game. The British number five from the Isle of Man, who spent the first few years of his professional career driving to tournaments around Europe in a transit van, fought back from losing an opening set tie-break.
