    *Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) 1-2 Raducanu

    Russell Fuller
    Tennis correspondent on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    Every point seems to be dripping with drama.

    I like the way Raducanu has started this second set, despite the way she lost that first set.

  3. 'I can't see any disappointment in Raducanu'

    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC One

    Emma Raducanu has done an excellent job of putting that first set in the rear-view mirror.

    I can't see any disappointment in her, it is all positivity.

  4. Raducanu holds

    *Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) 1-2 Raducanu

    A double fault is a momentary lapse by Emma Raducanu as she rattles through another service game.

  5. 'Sabalenka taking it in her stride'

    Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Sabalenka looks extremely determined the way she is marching around this court.

    She has handled the crowd and the situation, she is not having any of it and is taking it in her stride.

  6. Sabalenka holds

    Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) 1-1 Raducanu*

    A safe hold of serve in reply for Aryna Sabalenka.

    The drama has just subsided for the moment after that crescendo to the first set - which, in fairness, lasted about 35 minutes.

  7. 'Raducanu has set the tone'

    *Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) 0-1 Raducanu

    Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    She is just changing things up a bit, Sabalenka, throwing in drop shots and mixing up her play.

    Raducanu has done well at the start of this set.

    It sets the tone for this second set and that she isn't just going to come out and shrink after that disappointment.

  8. Raducanu holds

    *Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) 0-1 Raducanu

    Everyone's had a bit of time to regroup - well, about 90 seconds or so - and we get set two under way with Emma Raducanu serving.

    That first set has got to have taken a lot out of both players though.

    Raducanu gets the better of it to hold serve in the opener.

  9. Henman Hill gripped by first set

    Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) Raducanu

    What an astonishing first set that was.

    Fans on Henman Hill certainly enjoyed it - even if home favourite Emma Raducanu finds herself a set down in this third-round tie.

  10. 'A tough pill to swallow for Raducanu'

    Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) 0-0 Raducanu*

    Tracy Austin
    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC One

    That's going to be a tough pill to swallow for Emma Raducanu.

    She fought so hard. She played so well. She did nothing wrong.

    Aryna Sabalenka absolutely raised the level of her in the last three points of that tie-break. She has won nine net points out of 13, so that shows how comfortable she is coming to the front of the court.

  11. Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) 0-0 Raducanu*

    Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Wimbledon

    There was a time when Raducanu was seen as - to coin a phrase from my BBC colleague Pat Cash - a "mental midget".

    Cashy was not talking about Raducanu when he said it on Radio 5 Live recently but it was a lovely bit of alliteration. So I'm going to nick it.

    Anyway... what I'm getting at is Raducanu generally has more of a resilience about her these days.

    She used to be seen as a soft touch.

    Not any more. We particularly saw her improved durability when she beat Emma Navarro in Miami and we've seen it in spades tonight.

  12. Game and first set - Sabalenka

    Sabalenka 7-6 (8-6) 0-0 Raducanu*

    A brilliant drop volley at the net from Aryna Sabalenka secures an unbelievable set of tennis.

  13. Set point Sabalenka

    Sabalenka 6-6 (7-6) Raducanu*

    Big serve from Aryna Sabalenka. 121mph.

    Another set point for the world number one.

  14. Sabalenka saves set point

    *Sabalenka 6-6 (6-6) Raducanu

    Oh my goodness, what a drop shot. What a drop shot. That's brilliant.

    All square again and we change ends.

    73 minutes gone in the set and we're still no nearer to knowing who is going to win it.

    *Sabalenka 6-6 (5-6) Raducanu

    Emma Raducanu has set point.

  16. First-set tie-break

    Sabalenka 6-6 (5-5) Raducanu*

    Big chance missed by Aryna Sabalenka.

    She did all the hard work but then sends the volley wide.

  17. 'Sabalenka confident at the net'

    Sabalenka 6-6 (5-4) Raducanu*

    Naomi Broady
    British player on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    Sabalenka is showing how confident she is at the net. She knows where to be and is not guessing. That comes from her experience playing doubles, you learn that reflex.

  18. 'Sabalenka confident in the forecourt'

    Sabalenka 6-6 (5-4) Raducanu*

    Tracy Austin
    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC One

    Aryna Sabalenka was brave to come forward there.

    She is obviously confident in her abilities in the forecourt. She has already won two majors in the doubles.

  19. First-set tie-break

    Sabalenka 6-6 (5-4) Raducanu*

    Then Aryna Sabalenka nets a backhand to level it up again, but my word, what a forehand to take the lead once more.

  20. First-set tie-break

    *Sabalenka 6-6 (4-3) Raducanu

    Aryna Sabalenka comes to the net and it works.

    Another mini-break for the world number one, who now has two serves of her own to forge clear in the breaker.
