Carlos Alcaraz passes up the opportunity when his forehand strays long but he'll get another look after Roberto Bautista Agut returns the favour.

Bautista Agut saves again.

He works his way up to the net and volleys a winner.

At 37, Roberto Bautista Agut is the oldest player in the men's singles draw at Queen's this year.

He'll need every bit of that experience to get beyond a player in Carlos Alcaraz who is looking for a 17th successive victory.

Alcaraz has a chance to break already...

After a slight delay we are ready to go in the second semi-final of the day.

When he’s on it, Carlos Alcaraz is the most complete player of his age I have ever seen. You look at him already and he’s the finished package.

Can you improve, yes Roger Federer at his best said there was always something you could improve but you look at him, where’s his weakness? There isn’t one.

Lehecka 6-4 4-6 7-5 Draper

It might be for the best that Jack Draper didn't reach the final at Queen's so he has opportunity to let his knee recover before Wimbledon.

Draper crashed into the advertising barriers late in the third set.

To rub salt into the wound, Jiri Lehecka got a vital break on that point to seal his place in tomorrow's final.

The Spanish flags are waving and Carlos Alcaraz and Roberto Bautista Agut will feel very at home on court in these weather conditions.

Alcaraz and Bautista Agut have just met at the net and are now about to go through their warm-up.

Queen's tournament director Jamie Murray, speaking to BBC Sport: “Jack Draper is an amazing competitor. He is a big guy but moves incredibly well. He has that left hand that will help him in defensive situations that maybe right-handers don’t have.

“He is having an amazing year and we are hoping he will have a great Wimbledon.

"He will be one of the favourites behind Sinner and Alcaraz."

The latest update from Queen's is that the rain has not come down as heavily as expected and the net is back up on Andy Murray Arena.

We're still on track for Carlos Alcaraz and Roberto Bautista Agut to walk on to court at 16:00 BST.

On the topic of Wimbledon...

Queen's tournament director Jamie Murray, speaking to BBC Sport: "It was a big positive for Draper that he made the semi-finals and he guaranteed himself a top four seeding.

"He will be thrilled about that heading into Wimbledon."

When this rain does eventually blow over, we're in for a treat with 2023 Queen's champion Carlos Alcaraz set to face Roberto Bautista Agut.

Alcaraz beat France's Arthur Rinderknech 7-5 6-4 in the quarter-finals, while 37-year-old Agut knocked out fourth seed Holger Rune 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (4-7) 6-2.

The rain is not only frustrating for supporters who are eager to see another match get under way, but it also tests the ability of the broadcasters.

GB Davis Cup captain Leon Smith is doing his best to fill for time on the BBC One broadcast alongside presenter Clare Balding and tournament director Jamie Murray.

Topics have included his haircut and how good the food is at Queen's...

In better news, Clare Balding says we could see the players come out for the next semi-final at 16:00 BST.

Jiri Lehecka has not previously featured in the final of an ATP event on grass.

He is the first Czech to reach the men's singles final at Queen's since Ivan Lendl in 1990.

Lendl won back-to-back titles at Queen's in 1989 and 1999.

Actually, the net is down but the covers are not out.

There is a group of people - ground staff and organisers - on Andy Murray Arena looking up at the sky and speaking on radios.

The fact that the covers aren't in use suggests maybe we won't be waiting too long.

Wishful thinking?

Today's other semi-final is an all-Spanish affair with world number two and French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz up against Roberto Bautista Agut.

We were expecting them to come out pretty swiftly after that first match but the rain, which kindly held off, is now starting to come down the the covers are out.

We're still waiting to hear how long this delay might run for but we'll let you know as soon as we have any updates.

Jiri Lehecka has left two Brits in his wake at Queen's now.

After beating Jacob Fearnley in the quarter-finals he has now sent Jack Draper packing.

Lehecka has also levelled his head-to-head record with Draper at 2-2.

Queen's finalist Jiri Lehecka, speaking to BBC: "It means a lot. You don't meet a player like Jack every day, he's an amazing competitor.

"I know you're favourite didn't win today but I appreciate you being fair with me.

On his serve: "It's not easy to play that serve but I've been working on it for the last few weeks. I knew the transition from clay to grass I'd need to use it. I'm happy with it."

Jack Draper is not hanging around.

He is straight off court and into the changing rooms.

Britain's wait for a first Queen's winner since Andy Murray in 2016 goes on.

But that trusty serve comes good again for Jiri Lehecka.

It's powerful and into the corner, leaving Draper unable to get it back over the net.

Match point for Lehecka.
