*Konta 2-1 Cirstea
30-30 before Cirstea's charges to the net to swat away another winner.
40-30. Nearly there.
Aaaaaand... that's game.
The Romanian is still a break down though.

Konta 2-0 Cirstea*
Cirstea's serving improves a little but she still hasn't found her range from deep.
15-15... before she takes the power off the racquet to secure a forehand winner. Touch!
30-15.

Konta 2-0 Cirstea*
Konta crouches down to punch home a double-handed winner.
Two games up. Plain sailing, as they say.

*Konta 1-0 Cirstea
30-0 after Cirstea fails to land a Hollywood crosscourt double-handed backhand winner.
40-0 before another effort from deep actually pays dividends for the Romanian.

*Konta 1-0 Cirstea
Broken.
Those three double faults really didn't help the Romanian's cause.

Konta 0-0 Cirstea*
Konta has a second break point as the world number 77 strikes the net from the back.
Surely now Jo?

Konta 0-0 Cirstea*
Another error and it's advantage Konta, but a nerveless approach to the net pays off for the 30-year-old.
Deuce.

Konta 0-0 Cirstea*
Cirstea looks good to hold before Konta strikes a peach of a forehand - the Romanian then produces another double fault.
Deuce.

Cirstea is the current world number 77 - she actually saw off American Christina McHale in the first round. An impressive win against a notoriously tough opponent.
She has played Konta once before - back in 2017 at Eastbourne.
The winner? Konta... 6-2 6-2.

Russia's Karen Khachanov has just seen off his countryman Andrey Kuznetsov in three easy sets - it seems Kuznetsov was suffering a little with a foot problem or something.
And next on court five we have Jo Konta, who saw off fellow Brit Heather Watson in the first round, against Cirstea.

Elsewhere, we have six-time winner Serena Williams against Margarita Gasparyan and let's not forget it's Nadal v Thiem... ah... wait... that's Nagal, Sumit Nagal of India against Dominic Thiem.
