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.

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!

It'll be tough, there'll be a lot more expectation next year. Is it too late for me to copyright the term "Raducanu Ridge"?

Interviewed today in an England shirt, she's no Andy Murray! >:(

Now why didn't I think of Raducanu Ridge? I tried to think of a word meaning hill that began with R and failed miserably!

I could also have gone with Rise but I though Ridge was more apt given the Clint Eastwood film.

Berrettini through to the final, could it be an Italy double on Sunday?

No. Djokofedadal will win, as usual.

Hope so, he sounds like a worthy successor to "Pistol Pete".

Andy Murray loses in 5 sets to 3rd seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, sounds quite a match, sadly Sky don't have the rights to the US Open.

I watched it on prime and yes it was a great match. Murray could have gone up sets to nil after winning the first and I think that was a big turning point. Fair play to Murray, to perform at this level after his surgery is very impressive.

Watching Dan Evans against Popyrin. Great match and just found out that Evans is a Villa fan. I had an idea he might be as he's wearing a Luke shirt. Clearly a man of great taste as well as being the British number one.

Yes, a good day for Villa fans today with Chris Woakes in the cricket and now Dan Evans getting to the last 16 of the US open for the first time.

Yeah just heard the result 6-0,6-1 against the number 41 in the world is just superb.

A great result for her. Barty (potentially) up next in the last 16.

She is special. A total demolition job of a very good and in form player. She only dropped a game because she got a little tight closing the match out. I think she was embarrassed. If she gets past Barty, she has a real chance of winning it.

I reckon she might be a bit good. And Piers Morgan is a twat.
