Shows what I know about bloody tennis; she's now flying. Has to win this set, surely.

You’ve put the mockers on it now

Ha, looks like it. To be fair if she loses this, she never deserved to win the match.

Unforced errors will do Raducanu.

Predictable but also a shame. I sense we'll have a Tim Henman scenario for the next 10 years and she'll never win Wimbledon.

To put it in some context Emma has been beaten by the current world number 1 and top women’s seed for Wimbledon.
Sabalenka was 2/7 to win tonight.
Emma gave it a go and wasn’t beaten 6-0, 6-0.

Agreed and, arguably, it was closer than the very creditable 7-6, 6-4 scoreline suggests. Progress.

She had her chances, and her game isn't much behind Sabalenka.
She's had an odd time since winning the US Open.
Plus 3 surgical procedures to go with her health issues.
Think the final pieces of Emma's resurgence will be as much between her ears as her tennis.
Hope she gets back to the top.

Looking like Kartal is going out. Not sure there's anything to bother watching for the second week.
