After rain delayed the match, a tough battle ensued, but Pliskova reached her third semi-final of the season with a 7-6 (10-8) 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 win.

Pliskova edged the first set on the tie-break before Jabeur forced a decider with an equally impressive win in the second.

Despite going toe-to-toe once more in the third, Pliskova just did enough to hold off No.1 seed Jabeur, getting a vital break to set up a meeting with Diane Parry.

Jabeur had the opportunity to win seven break points during the match, but had a measly 14 per cent conversion rate – one from seven. Pliskova, meanwhile, won half of hers, two from four.

The Czech also won 94 per cent of her service games – 17 from 18 – just one more than Jabeur. It was the fine margins that won out in Nottingham.

Meanwhile, Emma Raducanu advanced to her first semi-final since 2022 after receiving a walkover from Francesca Jones, but her match against Katie Boulter was suspended because of rain after the first set, which lasted an incredible 80 minutes.

In 's-Hertogenbosch, Bianca Andreescu will play in the Libema Open final after her straight-sets 6-4 6-2 victory over Dalma Galfi, earning a place in her first final of the season.
