I expected her to be facing No. 1 seed Ash Barty so perhaps a slice of luck that she (Barty) lost to Shelby Rogers. I’m sure the home crowd being behind her (Raducanu) opponent won’t be easy though.

Rogers 5/4 Raducanu 4/6
I think it makes it harder in some respects. A home competitor, so won't have the crowd on her side, and she won't be able to go there with the "Ash is the clear favourite so there's no pressure on me" approach either
Just to clarify, the Zverev v Sinner game starts at 5pm. Which means the Raducanu game will not start before 7pm UK time.
Zverev leads by two sets and a break of serve (4-2) in the third. You’d think it should only be about 30 minutes until they’re out on court, barring any late swings in momentum.
I am shaking my head is disbelief at how good she is. Hope she stay injury free as seems to be an amazing talent with a steely mental strength. The expectations are already enormous and she has many admirers who know what they are talking about

Rogers has been poor but Raducanu has been ruthless.
Raducanu’s live world ranking is up to 74 and she is likely to become No. 1 Brit should she win the QF. She was outside the top 300 before Wimbledon and outside the top 150 before the US Open.

If she stays injury free she’s surely got a proper shout.

Raducanu 4/6
Next up, Belinda Bencic. Tokyo gold medallist.
