    Time for complete concentration now from Raducanu.

    An unforced error helps Noskova to 30-30.

    It's a great sign. That backhand return caught Noskova completely off the guard. It's a really good sign at this stage of the match. Perhaps Noskova is feeling the physical effects of the match.

    Backhand winner - takes on the short second serve and she gets the break!

    *Raducanu 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 3-1 Noskova

    Another break point for Emma Raducanu and she grass this one with both hands, nailing a backhand down the line to break. That could be a huge moment.

    I think the standard of tennis has been excellent. Both players are such exciting talents.

    Raducanu can't capitalise and we go to deuce. Each point feels huge.

    I really feared for Raducanu in that second set.

    Right now I feel a lot more confident and there are no signs of any physical impediments - but you never know as the match gets longer and the tension rises.

    Raducanu 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 2-1 Noskova*

    Can Noskova respond again, as the tension continues to build on Court Simonne-Mathieu? So far, the answer is yes. Raducanu just can't quite reach a lob as the Czech moves to 40-15, but a miss keeps Raducanu alive.

  11. Postpublished at 19:07 British Summer Time 23 May 2022

    Raducanu 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 2-1 Noskova*

    Noskova sends a forehand into the tramlines. Another game point for Raducanu...

    And a great first serve ensures she gets this one! The world number 12 moves 2-1 up.

    *Raducanu 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 1-1 Noskova

    Noskova punishes the advancing Raducanu, whipping up a backhand to bring the Briton back to deuce. Another game point for Raducanu - but again Noskova presses her opponent back and draws the error.

    A miss from Noskova, but the Czech produces a backhand winner for deuce.

    *Raducanu 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 1-1 Noskova

    A loose hit from Raducanu brings a slight frown, as Noskova edges 15-30 up.

    But the Briton holds her nerve in a baseline rally to level things.

  15. Postpublished at 19:01 British Summer Time 23 May 2022

    *Raducanu 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 1-1 Noskova

    Another cracking shot! This time it's Noskova who whips a forehand cross-court to take the opening point on the Raducanu serve. Such a high-quality contest.

    *Raducanu 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 1-1 Noskova

    Linda Noskova comes out swinging, racing into a 40-0 lead before a hit from the baseline flies long.

    Or did it? The umpire takes a look... It's in! A love hold too for Noskova.

    When you think back it's just astonishing what Raducanu did.

    This year was always going to be diffcult - there are still new experiences for Emma but this is one of the few occasions she is playing somone less experienced and younger than her.

    Raducanu 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 1-0 Noskova*

    It didn't feel like the players had much of a break after their efforts at the end of that second set.

    It doesn't seem to have affected Raducanu at all, though. A hold to love to begin the third set.

    What a game. What a match!

    We're heading for a decider on Court Simonne-Mathieu, and nobody (Linda Noskova aside) will complain about that.

    Emma Raducanu will get us back under way.

    A dropshot from Raducanu out of nowhere - we haven't seen those from her - and it works.

    Pays off big-time.

    We're heading to a third!
