Meanwhile, Katie Boulter was leading 4-2 in the first set in her Nottingham Open quarter-final tie against Pole Magdalena Frech.

The British number one broke the fifth seed’s serve and had worked her way to another break point before rain halted play.

Before Boulter took to centre court on Friday, Fran Jones secured her place in the last eight with a three-set win over American Ashlyn Krueger.

Play was suspended on Thursday with the match locked at 6-4 4-6 6-5 (30-30) but Jones was able to close out the victory.

She will take on compatriot Emma Raducanu in the last eight.

Top seed Ons Jabeur was a set to the good (6-2) in her last-16 match with Linda Fruhvirtova before the rain intervened.
