    Parry 1-0 Raducanu*

    Great Britain had been on a nine-game winning streak. That hold from Parry has got the French crowd shouting again.

    I'm expecting this atmosphere to keep dialling up.

    *Parry 0-0 Raducanu

    This is going to be a long service game I reckon.

    Parry rallies and manages to sneak an advantage, but she can't finish things off as she slices a forehand into the net.

    Raducanu is looking very good so far.

    Not this time for Raducanu as a peach of a second serve forces an error.

    *Parry 0-0 Raducanu

    A bit of a waste from Raducanu who dominates the latest point but can't finish it off as her backhand drops wide.

    She responds well will with a backhand slice though to force another deuce.

    Well this is a really great start for Emma Raducanu who gets Diane Parry running from one side to the other before forcing an error with a cracking forehand.

    Parry responds with an ace to take us to 30-30.

    While Katie Boulter has been working her socks off to give Great Britain a 2-1 lead, two other teams have booked their places for November's finals.

    A straightforward 6-4 6-3 win for world number one Iga Swiatek against Switzerland's Celine Naef gave Poland unassailable 3-0 lead.

    Meanwhile, Slovakia claimed a 4-0 victory over Slovenia.

    So that's Japan, Australia, Poland and Slovakia through.

    Four more spots are up for grabs. Can Emma Raducanu seal one of them for Great Britain?

    Parry v Raducanu

    Coin toss done, now both players are warming up.

    I've just had a look at my notes and I can tell you that yesterday's win for Emma Raducanu over Caroline Garcia was the sixth-best of the Briton's career if you go off rankings.

    Nice reception for Emma Raducanu who is full of focus as she walks to her chair.

    Home hero Diane Parry, who beat Katie Boulter yesterday, gets a loud cheer.

    Makeba by Jain is cut short which can only mean one thing. Match number four is about to get under way.

    I reckon we'll be under way in 10 minutes. At the moment, we're going through all the Eurodance classics inside Le Chaudron.

    This will be the first time Emma Raducanu and Diane Parry face each other on tour.

    Parry, 21, is currently ranked 49th in the world. She's never gone beyond the third round of a major.
