    Osaka was a set and 4-2 down in that match but she is still in the hunt of a third consecutive Grand Slam.

    A word for Victoria Azarenka too. She'll be back in the top 20 if she plays anything like that again.

  6. 'A terrific win'

    What a great match to watch that was and a big win for Osaka.

    She was not at her best, the same as in the first round, and she was playing a great opponent in Victoria Azarenka, the former world number one, but a terrific win for Osaka to go through to the last 32.

    Game, set and match - Osaka

    Osaka 4-6 7-5 6-3 Azarenka

    She's done it!

    For the second round in a row world number one Naomi Osaka has come from behind to progress.

    She covers her face with her visor. What a match.

    Big serve from Osaka.

    Match point number two...

  9. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-3 Azarenka

    Now a match point comes and goes for Naomi Osaka.

    Victoria Azarenka waves her arms at the other end asking for more from the crowd. Great theater.

  10. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-3 Azarenka

    Blimey. Naomi Osaka puts a second serve right onto the line to fight off the break point. Azarenka can't believe it and wants a closer look but the resigned look on her face tells the story.

    Deuce.

    The returns from Azarenka are putting pressure on Osaka.

  12. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-3 Azarenka

    And that's a squeal full of anguish. Osaka hits into the net.

    Azarenka has another break point.

    She couldn't could she?

  13. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-3 Azarenka

    It's not going to be given to the world number one.

    Osaka gets to 30-0 but then Azarenka fights back to win the next two points.

    There's a little bit of fear in the latest Osaka screech.

  14. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-3 Azarenka

    Victoria Azarenka still believes. She arrows a backhand down the line and even a player of the world number one's speed can't get there.

    Over to you, Naomi. Can she serve this out at the second attempt?

  15. Azarenka breaks

    Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-2 Azarenka*

    Victoria Azarenks has got it! She nearly knocks Naomi Osaka's racquet out of her hand. On we go. It's still 5-2 to the world number one.

  16. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-1 Azarenka

    Azarenka hasn't given up just yet. Too little too late? She has a break point.

  17. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-1 Azarenka

    Not yet.

    Naomi Osaka goes for the big winner but misses. The crowd tries to lift Azarenka.

    Deuce.

  18. Stuart Fraser
    The Times sports journalist on Radio 5 live sports extra

    Azarenka has to take some confidence, it's been such a tough draw for her - first up Ostapenko then Osaka.

  19. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-1 Azarenka

    Azarenka looks to the sky after a hitting a forehand into the net. She will challenge here again but this one is slipping away.

    Match point to Osaka...

  20. *Osaka 4-6 7-5 5-1 Azarenka

    This looked like being a thrilling final set, similar to the brutal battle we saw in the first two.

    Osaka has just upped her game to a new level.

    30-15.

    Two points away from round three...
