Poor Raducanu. The pressure on her

The only good news on that score is that Tomljanovic is a notorious choker, which is why she was so freaked out by Ostapenko taking a break when she (Tomljanovic) was 4-0 up in the third. Tomljanovic does not handle pressure well.

Nervous start here from Raducanu. Needs to settle down.

Settled into it very quickly, actually amazed how comfortable she seems out there. Relishing it so far.

It was always likely to end up with as Djokovic vs Berrettini in the final and then the Goatovic will likely win and take yet another fragment of Federer's soul for his collection.

Soon there will be so little of it left, to the despair of the Fed-tards!

You would think the winner of the upcoming match must play Barty second on Centre, no matter who it is. Barty is the #1 seed after all (so it should be on Centre), and it can't be first, to give tonight's winner more time to recover. If they were going to try and be fair, it shouldn't start before (say) 5 or even 6 pm, but that's not the Wimbledon way.

Federer and Sonego look nearly identical at a difference, so the only way to tell them apart is by who gets the cheers when they win a point.

Yep. I forgot she was playing Barty due to the fact that they werent scheduled today at a similar time! Definitely second on Centre tomorrow so.

Not surprisingly, the quality is poor: Raducanu has at least hit a few winners so far, Tomljanovic none. Somewhere, Ostapenko may be looking at this, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The schedule is out, and the winner of this match plays last on Centre, not before 4:30pm. The Medvedev - Hurkacz match is to finish first, then Jabeur - Sabalenka.

2 very nervous players it was always going to be like this. The one that can get rid of the nerves will win.

a lot of balls hit long on both sides under not a lot of pressure.

Shame, she was better player majority of that set from my dodgy eyes anyway. Just didn't take her chances to break when she had them and then faded in the end.

Raducanu like like she's going to throw up since the last changeover....

Khachanov, FAA and Fucsovics all won in five sets today and they are playing opponents who all won in three sets. Big ask to comeback out the next day and compete to a high level.

Raducanu doesn't strike me as looking like she's going to mount a comeback here

She definitely doesn't look well

Tomljanovic will be loving this.

Or it could be wrecking her head, second match in a row

That was sarcasm.

But not now!

Wasn't expecting that ending

Raducanu retires, obviously not wanting to face the wrath of Tomljanovic.

Joke obviously ...

The scheduling did for raducanu. She should have been on first today and not left waiting around for hours. No wonder the poor girl got sick.

Wonder if it was a panic/anxiety attack. Was taking very short breathes out there.

It was the build up of waiting around all day to play. She should have been on first.

The Brit media obviously don't help. And now straight away talking about how amazing she is going to be in future.

They're the same with the football team too

No doubt this is what it was. Doesn't bode well for her future if she can't even handle being in a 4th round match.

Might well be Covid either
