Be nice if Murray can cause a bit of an upset.

Really sad to see Andy Murray struggling to beat a bloke he would have swotted away like an annoying insect in his prime.

Fair play to Murray, fantastic performance. I thought he was done for but what a come back.

Andy Murray really needed the roof closed to maximise the noise of the crowd.  Played really well after that.

Brilliant from Raducanu. She looks a real star.

You beat me to it CD, 18 years old, ranked 333rd in the world, waiting the results of her A levels, now through to the 2nd week of Wimbledon, unbelievable.

I'm not much of a tennis expert, but she played some of the best backhand shots I've ever seen. Some talent.

What a performance by Emma Radacanu. You'd think she might fold after having all those break points towards the end but no she kept her head and did the business.

Emma Raducanu is the youngest British female to make it to the second week of Wimbledon, since 1959. So in the women's singles tomorrow they've got Gauff v Kerber on centre court and Emma's match is on number 1 court, wrong way round Wimbledon, you idiots.

She's last on, which is the main thing. Hopefully won't start before work is finished.

No 2 seed Medvedev knocked out by 14th seed Polish Hubert Hurkacz, with Zverev also out, looks like it could be a Djokovic Federer final. The most dangerous other players are probably Shapovalov and Berrettini.

I think the pressure of being on number 1 court was enough - can you imagine how much greater the pressure would have been on centre court? Let's hope she's back next year and does even better!
