  1. *Konta 6-2 6-6 (1-1) Cirstea

    Cirstea takes the first point before she goes long on Konta's serve.

    1-1.

  2. Tie-break

    Konta 6-2 6-6 Cirstea*

    Big serve and it's tie-break o'clock.

    Konta has already won one of these in this tournament.

  3. *Konta 6-2 5-6 Cirstea

    Cirstea gives away another point with an error down the line - she's arguing with herself.

    40-0.

    40-15.

  4. *Konta 6-2 5-6 Cirstea

    Konta's turn to approach the net with intent and swat away a winner.

    15-0.

    30-0.

  5. David Law
    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra tennis commentator

    This is the highest level I've ever seen from Cirstea.

    This is big-hitting baseline tennis, and real quality.

  6. *Konta 6-2 5-6 Cirstea

    This time the Romanian does hold and passes the pressure back on to the racquet of Konta.

  7. Konta 6-2 5-5 Cirstea*

    Another big serve and it's advantage v the ninth seed.

    Konta takes a huge risk by coming to the net, luckily for her Cirstea lets herself down.

    Deuce no.5.

    Advantage Cirstea again.

  8. Konta 6-2 5-5 Cirstea*

    Cirstea sprints to the net like her life depended on it...or a break. The effort pays off as she swipes the 'A' sign off the board.

    Deuce.

    Advantage.

    Deuce with an ace.

  9. Konta 6-2 5-5 Cirstea*

    Advantage Konta as Cirstea smacks the net from the back.

    Hmm...

  10. 'Down the line'

    Naomi Cavaday
    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra tennis commentator

    Cirstea has definitely made a marked change to go down the line on her forehand. It has been effective too.

  11. Konta 6-2 5-5 Cirstea*

    Cirstea sends Konta deep before approaching the net and slapping down a winner.

    40-30.

    Deuce.

  12. Konta 6-2 5-5 Cirstea*

    15s each.

    Cirstea then opens up her body and lets rip with a forehand which actually has the desired effect.

    30-15.

    30-30.

  13. Konta 6-2 5-5 Cirstea*

    Cirstea, bored of not having a sniff of a point, holds down the B button for too long from Konta's first serve.

    Game.

  14. *Konta 6-2 4-5 Cirstea

    The British number one needs these first serves to land in.

    15-0.

    30-0.

    Then another sends Cirstea to her right before Konta lands the Povetkin punch.

    40-0.

  15. *Konta 6-2 4-5 Cirstea

    A glorious one-handed forehand lands a fifth of a tennis ball in for Cirstea.

    Thank goodness for tech.

    Time to break Sorana?

  16. Konta 6-2 4-4 Cirstea*

    Saved by Konta with two double-handed crosscourts before a winner down the line. Boxing clever.

    Deuce.

    Advantage Cirstea.

    We've been here before.

  17. 'Konta neutralising Cirstea's main weapon'

    Naomi Cavaday
    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra tennis commentator

    We haven't seen a lot of aggressive down-the-line shots from Cirstea. She's not been able to do it because of the pressure from Konta, who has neutralised that weapon by moving her out wide.

  18. Konta 6-2 4-4 Cirstea*

    The Brit stays in the rally before she crouches down going for backhand glory but finds the netting.

    Deuce.

    Advantage Cirstea.

  19. Konta 6-2 4-4 Cirstea*

    Break point saved before Konta sets up another with a flat angled forehand that dips just inside the trams.

  20. Konta 6-2 4-4 Cirstea*

    The umpire has a time-violation word with Cirstea - another and she will be docked a first serve.

    30-30.

    30-40 as the Romanian's serve goes for a trip to New Jersey.
