    An awful shame they're meeting so early

    Andy Murray to play in mixed doubles with Raducanu as well.

    Hope he manages to last the pace!

    Nice that he gets to compete, but not in the singles because that was always going to end in disaster/heartbreak/disappointment.

    A nice way to bow out, having fun in front of his home crowd.

    Alcaraz looks to be storming through after a tight first set against Vukic!

    And takes the first set 6-1. Can she keep it up??

    Navarro up a break against Osaka, can she keep it up??

    And I've had to set both up record as I have to go out - to play tennis! 🙄

    Me either very comfortable first set 6-1. Her save of that breakpoint when she was serving for the set was excellent.

    Felix Auger Aliassime looks in real trouble in 5th set

    Raducanu up a break in the second (she had other opportunities on Mertens first service game too) so impressive in this match so far!

    Decided to listen to the radio on the app, and the commentary is using words like “inspired” to describe raducanu in this game.

    Honestly she was excellent best I have seen her play in a long long time, against a very solid opponent!

    6-1, 6-2 was not a fluke.

    Raducanu into the third round without too much hassle at all, not sure I saw that coming. Her draw is relatively clear until the SF's, so if she's in form then a deep run could be on the table.

    Sinner v Berrettini is tight as expected so far 5-5, Berrettini saving a set point.

    Sinner edges the first set tie break with Berrettini, high quality contest so far!

    Felix Auger-Aliassime gone, Tommy Paul (who won queen's) in a battle in 5th set.

    Berrettini, Sinner match is a cracker.

    Berrettini didn't do much wrong in first two sets, losing them in two tie breakers, but Berrettini up a break in third, not over quite yet!

    I think Berrettini is on the march now.

    I think at the moment he's more hungry for it than Sinner.

    However , he has alot of groundwork to cover to pull it back. If the match pauses for the night it will be Sinners tmw.

    Up two breaks now.... I'd say Sinner has written this set off, and will just crank it up a gear it two from game one in the 4th. Can't see Berettini taking it to 5, as much as I'd love him to.

    I'm sorry to see either of these go out so early.

    I only tuned in during the 3rd set - did Sinner break Berettini's serve at all during the first 2 sets?

    This might go to 5 after all, now that Berettini has a break!

    ETA…. or not!!

    No breaks in the first set, one break each in second set (I think it was a while back!)

    This is a real ding dong!

    In the 2nd one, Sinner got the mini break at the start and kept a couple of points daylight between him and Berettini until the end. Didn't see the first tie break.

    A right ding-dong battle going on between Boulter and Dart..... both wound up to 90 by the looks of it.

    Heading for 1 set all - hard to know how the 3rd might go!

    Is Djokovic struggling with the knee? Forehand movement seems to be all over the place at times.

    Both extremely limited players. Boulter less limed and should he comfortably bearing a player of Darts ability though. Despite the poor quality, the closeness has made it interesting to watch.

    Dart can't even make through the match without crying. Maybe time to start reevaluating her career choice.

    I didn't realise he was only 22 I would have guessed older, he could be one to watch.
