Yes yes it's probably gonna end in tears again...but our Emma Raducanu played two excellent 6-3 6-3 games to set up a 3rd round meeting with World #1 Sabalenka on center court scheduled for 16:50. (About 11pm for you lot over there ).
Much as I'd like to see a different outcome, I don't hold out too much hope for Raducanu here. She's playing better than she has for a couple of years, but I don't think she's at Sabalenka's level.

Agreed. But... her last matches were the best she's played for quite some time, as you mentioned. Never know

I'm sorry, I got the forever changing schedule wrong. Favourite Alcaraz is on now though. Hopefully a three set demolition
Hopefully.
Well it’s not going according to plan - Alcaraz won the first set 6-1 but then Struff won the second 6-3 and so far it’s 2-0 to Alcaraz in the third set and looking comfortable again - difficult to predict!!

Well it was a lot closer than I had expected and with a bit more nerve (or luck or better play) she could have won. Did herself proud so maybe this will inspire her to better things?

I started to watch it, got a little distracted cooking dinner and it was over in less than an hour!!
I'd be slightly peeved paying a few hundred quid minimum for that demolition
It is what it is and it's the whole "Wimbledon Experience" - I bought tickets for my dear Mam and her friend many moons ago and despite a few hours of rain, not the match they truly wanted to see (Second Week), they had an unforgettable day. Well worth the money to see the smile on their faces!
