Raducanu vs Rogers it is then.

I think she has a very decent chance against Rogers so things could now get very interesting.

It's fantastic watching a British player who genuinely seems to have the potential to become a world beater. I loved the thoroughly professional way she beat Tormo especially the power of her hitting. It was ruthless, great to watch.

I know they're using a hawkeye type system instead of line judges and when a ball is out or there's service fault, you still hear out or fault. Is that electronically generated or is someone actually saying that? Might be a silly question though.

Raducanu v Rogers on Amazon Prime, probably about 7.30. Just watched the last set of the match between Bencic and Swiatek. Bencic won and will play the winner of this match. From what I saw the winner of this match has a real chance next round.

Maybe not 7.30. The previous game, rather unexpectedly, may go into another 1 or 2 sets.

Another impressive display by Raducanu! 11 games on the bounce won that.

Phenomenal! 11 games in a row for the second match running.

Raducanu is something special.

She's got Bencic next. She's on a good run and won Olympic gold but she has her flaky moments.

There's nobody consistently dominating women's tennis so she could go further yet.

Certainly a lot more interesting than the same players winning all the time like in the men's events.

I've just remembered it's all on Prime, so I'm watching a replay now. 2 games down in the first, saved 2 break points in the third game. She looks ridiculously calm.

Sounds like she's handing out some thrashings. Great achievement so far with more to come hopefully.

It's not just that she's on a great run, it's that she's pulverising these players in the top 100/50 in a way that would be eye-catching even if she were world number one. Top stuff.
