Emma Raducanu continues to improve.

She might have been tired

Lactic acidic in her legs somebody said. Anyway form so up and down from both players. But a super win for Rad !
First time we have 3 players in quarters at Eastbourne for 40 years. Keep it going

 

[gavreid]

Quarter final Order of Play is Centre Court Paolini vs Boulter (not before 12.30) followed by Kasatkina vs ERad.

Dart vs Fernadez on Court 1 at 11 am.

I’m pleased to be “working” from home today.

I know it's only Eastbourne (sniff sniff0 but to have 3 Brits in the quarters is sth which has not happened for the best part of a long time (seventies?). Wonder what the odds are of a semi with Brit v. Brit? Fairly high, I'd say.

Still looking forward to seeing Jack Draper again; hopefully not quite as fatigued as at Queen's (9 matches in a row, I believe).

78. Wade, Barker and Anne Hobbs.

Boulter and ERad are in the same half I think but two tough matches again....

Are we hoping for a Fernandez EmRad final?

Different halves so possible ! That would be funny, both ladies have gone missing since that amazing fortnight in New York.

Is Eastbourne not on the iplayer today? I can only see Wimbledon qualifying.

Sports plus live stream all the sports it seems. Picture quality is not great though. I watched a little bit of Darts match earlier !

 

[gavreid]

Yes the iplayer feed is from BBC2. Harriet picked up a knee injury yesterday so let's hope she's ok for Wimbledon

Paolini is on fire. 6-1, 1-1 up against Boulter.

Paolini is on fire. 6-1, 1-1 up against Boulter.

and 6-7. She struggled to serve in the windy conditions I think.

Boulter will be happier with that set and she'll probably benefit from the rest before Wimbledon.

 

[gavreid]

Kasatkina first set 6-2. She's too strong for her - a very different player and Emma is finding it difficult to adjust and to the wind. She's in the game but it's slipping away. Again, good preparation and a bit of rest before Wimbledon. Or... 2-4 she's just broken back quite easily. 2-5 and 2-6.

 

[Mike Reed]

At least they all stuck together in true British fashion and lost all the quarters' matches Think they got the wind up !
