An action-packed Friday in the women’s singles at the 2026 Queen’s Club Championships<\/a> ended with Iva Jovic, Donna Vekic, and Katie Boulter booking their places in the semifinals. Emma Raducanu’s match with Kamilla Rakhimova could not be completed. Therefore, Donna Vekic vs Katie Boulter is the only confirmed semifinal. We here at LWOT will update this article when the second semifinal has been confirmed.<\/p>\n

WTA Queen’s Club Semifinal Predictions<\/h2>\n

Donna Vekic vs Katie Boulter<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: Boulter 1-0 Vekic<\/p>\n

Vekic’s general struggles for the last 18 months seemed to be continuing when she lost in the qualifying. Instead, she has taken full advantage of being a lucky loser with victories against Mika Stojsavljevic, Marie Bouzkova, and Karolina Pliskova. Boulter’s run to reach this point has been particularly impressive. She overcame Leylah Fernandez and Jaqueline Cristian before a stunning triumph over Elena Rybakina.<\/p>\n

Boulter has happy memories from her only previous meeting with Vekic. The Briton beat her in the quarterfinal of the San Diego Open before going on to win that title. That success and the home favorite’s superb performance against Rybakina mean she will likely enter this match with confidence and a belief that she can secure a second WTA 500 title.<\/p>\n

However, I am backing Vekic<\/a> to reach the final. The Croat usually performs best against fellow big hitters, as shown by her impressive head-to-head record against Aryna Sabalenka. That mindset of not taking a backwards step against Boulter’s power and a partisan crowd could prove crucial to her hopes. Vekic’s underperformance when she played Boulter in San Diego was unusual in this sort of matchup. I expect this to be a close battle, though.
\nPrediction: Vekic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
