    Rogers 2-6 1-5 Raducanu*

    Ooft. A thumping forehand return from Rogers. 15-15.

    It's long from Raducanu. 15-30.

    And then a smashing backhand winner down the line! 15-40 and two break points for the American.

    Rogers 2-6 1-5 Raducanu*

    A big hold for Rogers - mainly for her self pride - and that lifts the crowd.

    Raducanu will now serve for the set.

    *Rogers 2-6 0-5 Raducanu

    Raducanu wants this wrapped up. She smashes back a return but then pulls a forehand wide.

    Rogers moves into the net and slices a volley. The crowd give her a big cheer. 30-15.

    The crowd are stunned. They are now coming to life because Billie Jean King is on the big screen! There's about 10,000 people here. For all of Emma Raducanu's excellent, ruthlesness and coolness under pressure, this has been a pretty abject performance from Shelby Rogers.

  5. Postpublished at 20:57 British Summer Time 6 September 2021

    20:57 BST 6 September 2021

    11 straight games from Raducanu.

    Wow.

    *Rogers 2-6 0-5 Raducanu

    Raducanu wins her 11th point in a row to go 40-0 up. The crowd give a cheer of support for Rogers and she replies with a nice return.

    There is murmuring around the crowd. Rogers is all at sea, and Raducanu is two games away from the quarter-finals.

    It's strange, isn't it, the difference in play from Rogers from the start of the match to now. It looks like she doesn't know what to do out there.

    Rogers 2-6 0-4 Raducanu*

    Double fault from Shelby Rogers. The American is really struggling out there in front of her home crowd.

    20:54 BST 6 September 2021

    *Rogers 2-6 0-3 Raducanu

    The Raducanu express is flying.

    Nothing is going Shelby Rogers' way. She cannot stop the train that is Emma Raducanu.

  12. Postpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time 6 September 2021

    20:54 BST 6 September 2021

    *Rogers 2-6 0-3 Raducanu

    18 unforced errors on the backhand by Rogers so far.

    I think seeing the other teenagers in the draw in Leylah Fernandez and Carlos Alcaraz inspires Raducanu and pushes her to do a bit more. To see other young players, a day ahead of her in the tournament, I wonder if seeing them does well gives her belief that she can do it too.

    *Rogers 2-6 0-3 Raducanu

    Raducanu is a set and three games up.

    20:50 BST 6 September 2021

    Rogers 2-6 0-2 Raducanu*

    And an ace.

  16. Postpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 6 September 2021

    20:50 BST 6 September 2021

    Rogers 2-6 0-2 Raducanu*

    No sweat. Back to 30-30. Nerves of steel from Emma Raducanu.

  17. Postpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 6 September 2021

    20:50 BST 6 September 2021

    Rogers 2-6 0-2 Raducanu*

    Better from Rogers who connects well on the volley then Raducanu skews a backhand well wide.

    30-0 for the American.

    Raducanu is just such a good frontrunner. She has yet to drop a set from qualifying.

  19. 'Businesslike from Raducanu'published at 20:49 British Summer Time 6 September 2021

    20:49 BST 6 September 2021

    Naomi Broady
    British player on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    What's so impressive about Raducanu is when she gets ahead in the match, she stays very businesslike. She doesn't try and overthink or overplay. It is great mental control.

    If you're Shelby Rogers, don't look up at your box - they look all at sea.
