Great shot down the line from Boulter for 30-0.

Brilliant work from Raducanu at the net for 40-0 and then again to seal the hold.

There's glimpses of really good play from the pair.

Boulter to serve to keep the British pair alive in the quarter-final.

Haddad Maia is breezing through this!

She races ahead 40-0 and and although Navarro then gets a point on the board, she's sends a shot wide and it is a second break for Haddad Maia.

Both players take a seat and a chance for Navarro to regroup.

Boulter fires long and that seals the hold from 0-40 for Kichenok and Routliffe.

What an opportunity missed that was for the British pair.

The top seeds are a game away from winning the match.

Raducanu overhits her forehand and that's the first break point saved.

Some clever net play from Routliffe saves the second then Raducanu slams into the net for deuce.

All three opportunities wiped out.

Woops.

A double fault from Kichenok prompts the top seeds to regroup with a chat at the baseline but it doesn't have the desired effect as Raducanu and Boulter bring up three break points.

Routliffe and Boulter can't believe it as the ball pings off the arm of the New Zealander and Boulter can't reach it.

The British pair back up that break of serve with a hold nonetheless.

It is a chance for Navarro to break back immediately as a lovely lofted shot over Haddad Maia to the back of the court draws oohs from the crowd, before the Brazilian double faults and Navarro leads 30-15.

But the American then hits a return long before some big hitting sees Haddad Maia come out on top of a short rally as she tucks a forehand return right into the corner, and then closes out the game to lead 2-0.

Haddad Maia got the better of Navarro in Strasbourg last month and she seems to be continuing from where she left off, breaking Navarro already on her opening serve.

A good smattering of fans with Brazil football shirts on at Centre Court.

Now then, back on serve in set two.

Can Raducanu consolidate that break to level the score on the board?

Well there's something for the court one crowd to cheer about!

Smiles all round as Boulter and Raducanu break for the first time in the match.

And an impressive break it was too as Raducanu overpowered Routliffe in the rally to take the game to love.

Shot!

Raducanu looks baffled as she loops a forehand that looks like it's surely going to drop long but is delighted when it's called in.

A bit of a wobble on her first serve but Boulter regroups to take a really strong hold to 15.

She has a quick chat with Raducanu and puffs out her cheeks as if to say 'what do we do now?'

It has been tough going for the British pair in their return games.

The singles action is just about to get under way as third seed Emma Navarro takes on Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia.

Navarro is looking for her second victory of 2025 after winning the Merida Open without dropping a set in March.

However, she will need to be on form against Haddad Maia, who claimed a superb 2-6 6-4 6-4 comeback win against Petra Kvitova 2-6 6-4 6-4 in round one.

The winner of this one will take on Britain's Sonay Kartal or American Amanda Anisimova in the quarter-finals. Those two are up second on centre court.

And that is where the experience of Kichenok and Routliffe shines through.

Raducanu and Boulter hang in the rally but it's clever play at the net from Kichenok to punish a loose forehand and that consolidates the break.

That break of serve could spell bad news for the British pair.

Are we seeing the end of 'Boultucanu' at Queen's?

Two big serves from Raducanu save both break points and take us to deuce.

But she overhits her return while advancing into the net and there's the break for Routliffe and Kichenok.

That's unfortunate.

Routliffe gets lucky with a net cord and Raducanu can only push her return into the net.

That brings up two break points for the Kichenok/Routliffe partnership.

Routliffe sees the hold to love and calls it, executing the exact same thing.

We remain on serve in set two.

Well that was impressive from Boulter.

A no-nonsense hold to love and that will seriously give her some confidence.
