    She's found her range! Emma Raducanu has broken back as Shelby Rogers pulls a backhand long.

    Nice from Raducanu, who returns a deep forehand and Rogers can't keep hers in play.

    The American then skews one into the net. Break point Raducanu!

    *Rogers 2-1 Raducanu

    Shelby Rogers is putting some serious top spin speed on these forehands in particular.

    Raducanu is dragged into a rally but Rogers smashes it on the baseline and someone in the crowd plucks the ball out of the air for a spectacular catch. His friend next to him has an even more spectacular reaction!

    There was a gentle pump of the fist from Raducanu as she came through that game.

    BIG hold. Emma Raducanu clings on as Rogers' backhand clips the top of the net and rolls out of court.

    She fist pumps towards her box and takes a deep breath. The nerves are there but hopefully that will settle her down.

    Rogers 2-0 Raducanu*

    Excellent serving again under pressure. Rogers can only poke the return into the net.

    But the American is hitting these balls hard and Raducanu is struggling to read it. Deuce.

    Emma's support box looks more nervous than she does!

    Raducanu looks rattled by the start Rogers has made.

    Oh no, she's in trouble again here.

    The American quickly moves up to 40-15 and has two break points.

    Emma has been caught a little bit on the second serve with the amount of top spin Shelby is putting on them.

    Hmm. Rogers holds. Can Raducanu settle the nerves and hold now? Crucial game.

    *Rogers 1-0 Raducanu

    The Briton takes a deep breath as Rodgers smashes a first serve past her.

    Raducanu then moves 30-15 up by forcing the American on the backfoot and she pokes it into the net. Rodgers responds with a whipping forehand. 30-30.

    Shelby's ball at the moment is just overpowering Emma. She's catching them late. Emma will take a game or two to maybe adjust to this pace. It's not surprising that it will take her a bit of time to adjust to the rhythm.

    Raducanu had dropped only 12 games in the first three rounds - the fewest of any player left in the draw.

    Ah. It's not a great start from Emma Raducanu. She's down a break as Rogers gobbles up the space in the court to hit a winner.

    Rogers 0-0 Raducanu*

    Better from Raducanu. She moves into the net and swats away a volley.

    She's not getting these first serves in at the moment though. Rogers picks out the second serve and Raducanu skews a backhand into the net. Another break point...
