Anon: Emma Raducanu gives off that same energy as Andy Murray, you think she's down and then she pulls something out of the bag! Once those big injuries are healed she'll get back to the top, US Open wasn't a fluke. Future Wimbledon champ for sure, and what a moment that will be.

And now it's Jule Niemeier's turn. She flings an aggressive forehand across the court and Emma Raducanu can only get the slightest of touches.
The Briton hits a cross-court winner of her own, though, to bring us back to deuce.

Former British number oneWe said it had a different feeling at 2-2 but Emma Raducanu has been able to bounce back quickly to put herself in this position and put the pressure on Jule Niemeier.

What a return that is from Emma Raducanu, hitting the backhand across the court and out of Jule Niemeier's reach.
It's a long way back for the German.
Raducanu, meanwhile, is one game away from putting GB 1-0 up. Can she serve out the win?

Katie Boulter is no longer present on the GB bench. The British number one could be in action very shortly if Emma Raducanu keeps up this form.

Former British number oneIt's going to be interesting to see what belief Jule Niemeier has left in her.
She has struggled to read which way Emma Raducanu is going to go with the serve.
