It is by now well established that quantum transport properties can be predicted analytically by starting from semiclassical expressions for the Greens-function. This approach proves particularly useful for systems with classical analoga revealing chaotic dynamics. Here we will use a semiclassical approach to re-examine a circular billiard, which is integrable in the classical case. We mainly focus on diffraction at the openings and analyse how it influences quantum effects, such as weak localization, for different curvatures at the points that connect leads and billiard boundary. This is motivated by an analysis of scattering matrix elements obtained from quantum simulations, in which features of the corresponding classical scattering system are observed.
