Raducanu moves into round 2 with a 6-1 6-2 win over Japanese qualifier Shibahara.
Her second round opponent will be Indonesian qualifier Tjen, who beat 24th seed Kudermetova.
Only just realised that prior to the draw, Raducanu was the 33rd highest ranked player and thus just missed out being seeded.3 -
Norrie also through to round 2. He led Korda 7-5 6-4 when Korda retired.
Draper a set up against Federico Gomez.0 -

Raducanu scheduled for 4pm.1

A break up but Tjen looks like an emerging player - one to watch. Obviously has already beaten Kudermetova. She runs round her backhand a lot - her backhand being anywhere near as good as her forehand would reduce leaving the court so open at times - which Raducanu is jumping on (so far)Covered End said:Raducanu scheduled for 4pm.
First set Raducanu with a second break0 -
Clinical display by Raducanu.3

Emma into round 3, winning 6-2 6-1. Her likely opponent in the next round is 9th seed and former Wimbledon champion Rybakina.
She’s jumped from 36 up to 33 in the live rankings. A few players bunched just ahead of her. Another win would catapult her into the top 30.2 - Sponsored links:

Definitely. So, next up Rybakina or her opponent who would have to play pretty damn well to beat Rybakina. I wish if Raducanu had to play a seed, which would be likely in R3, it was top 30 or top 20, but I think they way she is playing at the moment, that she has chance. Especially if she serves as well as todayhoof_it_up_to_benty said:Clinical display by Raducanu.1 -
Raducanu playing her best tennis since her US Open win, IMHO. She seems to be getting on really well with the new coach and talked about “lots of practice” in her post-match interview. Great to see her looking confident, determined and happy1

Jack Draper has pulled out through injury0

Such a shame but not totally unexpected. He was clearly defending lots of points from last year, but especially with the congested scheduling, they are all having to make sensible decisions to sit back when necessaryAddick Addict said:Jack Draper has pulled out through injury0 -
Must be bad to drop out of a Grand Slam tournament. If you possibly could you'd play.PrincessFiona said:

Depends on the definition of 'if you could you'd play' - you could do long term damageLenGlover said:

Norrie beats Comesana in four sets and will play Djokovic in the third round.
Thurs:
- Fearnley v Zverev
Fri:
- Raducanu v Rybakina
- Norrie v Djokovic
Could be the case that there’s no Brits left in the singles draws by the weekend. Will be relying on the doubles again.0 -
Do you think Radcanu has a chance against Rybakina? She's playing well but I'm not sure how in form Rybakina is. Obviously she is no. 9 seed for a reason, but I think our ER has a chanceCallumcafc said:Norrie beats Comesana in four sets and will play Djokovic in the third round.

Rybakina has made the SF in her last three events so in decent form.0
