    I turn on the match, and the Spaniard wins her first game. I think I'd better turn it off again  :D

    Blimey - she’s a bit good isn’t she?! Would be great to have a Brit up in the top ten in the world post Murray whether it’s the mens or women’s game.

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

    I think there's a serious danger of her getting writer's cramp. the number of autographs she's signing  ;)

    Genuinely surprised at how well she's doing - her progress is amazing. It does also suggest the lack of strength in depth in the women's game.

    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

    Just to clarify, the Zverev v Sinner game starts at 5pm. Which means the Raducanu game will not start before 7pm UK time.

    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

    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 hope Zverev has been impeccable on court, so that the Saint can beat the Sinner

    Now 8 in a row… a set and a break up. Just has to hold serve four times to get to her first major quarter final.

    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.

    11 in a row. A game away from the last eight.

    6-2 6-1. Blew away Rogers who just came off a win against the No. 1 seed. Great stuff.

    Next up, Belinda Bencic. Tokyo gold medallist.

    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.

    She can’t win the whole thing can she?
