    Unbelievable start from Emma Raducanu, under half an hour, not dropped a game.

    She has not allowed Rebecca Marino into this match at all.

    It has been relentless from Raducanu so far.

    Canada’s selection was less clearcut than Britain's choice.

    Their captain Heidi El Tabakh decided to go with the experience of 33-year-old Rebecca Marino, who plays the bulk of her tennis on the second-tier tour these days, over the potential of teenager Marina Stakusic.

    It feels like she has made a big mistake.

    Emma Raducanu just looks confident, really clear with what she is looking to do.

    When she is needing to defend, she is happy to put balls back into play as well which is also important.

    *Marino 0-4 Raducanu

    A lovely little backhand lob gets Emma Raducanu off to a great start on Rebecca Marino's next service game.

    The Canadian pulls ahead, but she isn't able to put the game to bed and we go to deuce as she pushes the ball into the net.

    Raducanu's first serve was key in the opening set of her win over Germany's Jule Niemeier on Friday.

    It was also very effective in her opening service game here.

    The British number two says she has been working on making her serve "more of a weapon" and plans to focus on that more in the off-season.

    Lengthening her takeback again, having gone to a shorter swing in the summer, is helping her find more rhythm and consistency. It also seems to be generating extra power.

    Anon: Come on GB!! The match lineups make me more nervous. Katie v Rebecca & Emma v Leylah seemed like the best options but got my fingers crossed.

    *Marino 0-4 Raducanu

    Emma Raducanu falters with a double fault, but not for long.

    The British number two responds with a hefty serve that Rebecca Marino is able to return - only for Raducanu to send a blistering cross-court winner away.

    The Canadian mutters to herself angrily as a wayward shot into the crowd sees her fall to a 4-0 deficit.

    What a great start from Emma Raducanu.

    She has been able to get through a match and at the moment Rebecca Marino has just been caught a little cold.

    She hasn't been able to land her first serves.

    Raducanu is flying.

    You wondered how Raducanu would pull up today after playing her first match in two months on Friday.

    Pretty well so far is the answer. She looks sharp in body and mind.

    Big problems already for Marino.

  20. 'Ideal start for Raducanu'published at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 17 November

    The ideal start there and I think in some ways Emma Raducanu is probably quite pleased that Rebecca Marino started first, to impose herself and get a good strike on the serve to put some pressure on the Canadian.
