    Local girl, used to practise in Petts Wood.
    Anyone know what club she used to play at? 
    She went to Newstead School and trained at the Bromley Tennis Centre - which, conveniently, are right next door to each other

    Romanian/Chinese parents.
    Great attitude. Sensible plans. 
    Prize money to be used on better coaching.

    Early herself about £100k so far this week too!   Not bad at 18!

    Hopefully she has a good run.

    Especially as it'll be up against the Belgium Italy game, probably the second most interesting QF

    Andy Murray's father-in-law Nigel Sears is Raducanu’s coach,

    Evans in a spot of trouble, down two sets to one. On serve in the fourth set.

    Shame if he loses this one - he's got a decent draw into the QF if he can play well.

    Evans and Murray crash out back to back. Shame.

    Norrie up tomorrow against Federer…… second on centre court.

    Anyone else see the Jabeur v Muguruza game earlier?

    Jabeur literally threw up with nerves on match point, I found it quite endearing to see how much nerves can still affect the players etc.

    Hope she goes on a run now, she played really well too.

    Wow. I assume she did it off the main playing area, and not on the baseline!

    It does mean a lot, especially if you've been playing small arenas or in front of empty venues

    Yeah she hid it a bit behind the back partitions by the line judges etc.

    Raducanu looks the real deal to me.

    Yes I saw Jabeur throw up on match point. Never seen that before. The umpire said something to her afterwards - I think he wanted her to wait before serving so they could clear her sick up.

    Yes just what I was saying.
    Our best prospect since Barker & Vagina Wade & possibly/probably better than Jo Durex.

    Really impressed with Raducanu, a great serve and powerful ground shots.

    Me too. Maybe now she has done her A levels she can devote even more time to tennis?

    There have been a few that have been promising, like Laura Robson. Let's hope she makes it. And isn't Palace!
