Britain's Emma Raducanu was outclassed by world number five Zheng Qinwen in the quarter-finals at Queen's.

Raducanu showed flashes of her quality but ultimately fell 6-2 6-4 to the Olympic champion in front of a packed crowd.

The 22-year-old took a medical timeout after the first set, having struggled with back spasms over the past few months.

She started the better in the second set and led by a double break but could not keep the big-hitting Zheng at bay.
