Raducanu keeps putting it on her strong forehand it’s bonkers 

[leicsmac]

Raducanu just about hanging on here.

[Super_horns]

Winner of this will play Vekic in the last 8.

Having a great tournament.

[Spacey_Fox]

Slowly but surely this is starting to shift.

[leicsmac]

Proper smash and grab job there for the set.

 

Now needs to take that momentum into the decider.

[Facecloth]

No idea how this is 1 set each. 

[PhillippaT]

[StanSP]

Much better from Raducanu to see off that set.

Pretty much the same way England have done the Euros. Just be ahead at the critical times.

[Super_horns]

Hopefully a momentum shift!

[Spacey_Fox]

Oh god.

[leicsmac]

For fvcks sake.

[Spacey_Fox]

Madison Keys earlier was enough for me!

[Nalis]

Must be difficult for the opponent when that happens too

[PAULCFC]

Seemed a bit weird when she hurt her Ankle and then the physio was massaging her back!

[Super_horns]

Think that is it now sadly if she is injured.

 

Dimitrov pulled out too on Court One.

[leicsmac]

The crowd need to get more involved here.

Not any more

Sun has been really impressive 

[HighPeakFox]

Must be maddening to play someone playing out of their mind like this.

So it appears.

 

Sun has been better all the way through tbh, just more consistent.

 

We could end up with a good long time where there's precious little British presence in week 2 singles at Wimbledon. Which would be a shame given Murray has done so much to inspire the generation following him.

You hope Draper might do it but again does he have the fitness and mindset to do so.

 

Well played to Sun.

 

Fully deserved to win.

Yep.

 

If I were Murray I would be seething at the LTA and whoever else tbh because he's done everything he could to establish a legacy and everyone else is fvcking it up.

 

Crowd nice enough to recognise how good Sun was, she seems pretty shocked with it all.

I find wimbledon so dull compared to other grand slams.  The crowd have a lot to do with it, I know we'll never get the atmosphere of the US open or the Aussie open but so little engagement is a little off putting.
