The Pole on Thursday defeated Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5, in a quarterfinal match at the Nature Valley International tournament.
Radwańska’s third-round opponent, Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, pulled out of the tournament with an injury before their match on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old Pole previously defeated Australia’s Daria Gavrilova in three sets, 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-0, in the second round of the Eastbourne tournament, which for many top tennis players is the final warm-up before Wimbledon.
Radwańska was set to take on either Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic or Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus in a bid to make the final at Eastbourne.
A former world No. 2, Radwańska is currently ranked 31st by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA).
