The players will be out on court in 10 minutes or so. As mentioned below, Emma Raducanu powered into the quarter-finals with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Shelby Rogers. The beaten American, who knocked out Ash Barty in the previous round, gave her thoughts on social media abuse afterwards:
“I’m going to have nine million death threats and whatnot … it’s very much polarising, one extreme to the other very quickly. You could probably go through my profile right now – I’m probably a ‘fat pig’ and words that I can’t say right now. You try not to take it to heart … it’s the unfortunate side of any sport and what we do.”
