GAME, SET AND MATCH! - RADUCANU 6-0 6-1 SORRIBES TORMO. The 18-year-old sitting at 150 in the world and in only her second major main draw destroys the woman ranked 41 on the planet in just one hour and nine minutes. Fittingly she bullets a winner up the line – her 22nd of the match – to cap a quite sensational display. She will now meet world No.1 Ash Barty or American Shelby Rogers in round four.

BREAK! - RADUCANU 6-0 4-0 SORRIBES TORMO. It’s a perfect 10! Emma just continues to come up with the answers. Sara has a glimmer of hope at 30-15 and at deuce but the Brit won’t let her have anything. It’s another break and she’s two games away from a potential showdown with world No.1 Ash Barty!
RADUCANU 6-0 3-0 SORRIBES TORMO. The 24-year-old Spaniard simply has no answer. She thinks she’s got a half chance at 0-30 but the power and depth is just tiring out her slice defence. The GB starlet comes charging back and remains flawless on that board.

BREAK! - RADUCANU 4-0 SORRIBES TORMO. This is ruthless. The world No.150 hits SO big. The power off both flanks just thumps away at the Spaniard’s defences. They are good – but not good enough. Emma tees up two more BPs with a vicious drive volley and despite lashing a backhand wide on the first, she prevails on the second to snatch a double break.
RADUCANU 3-0 SORRIBES TORMO. This girl is fearless. She shrugs off a couple of early double faults and charges back from 15-30 down to consolidate. It’s another fast-paced start from the 18-year-old.

BREAK! - RADUCANU 2-0 SORRIBES TORMO. It’s an epic. Emma hits back from 30-0 down and earns a break points with a scintillating backhand winner up the line. Sara saves it with a block volley at the net and then fends off another. It’s a real face-off from deuce but the Brit gets a third and finally hammers down the Spaniards defences with a barrage of hefty blows.
RADUCANU 1-0 SORRIBES TORMO. It’s bright opening from the Brit. She unloads her big weapons off both flanks but gets an early glimpse of Sorribes Tormo’s ability to absorb pressure. The Brit does enough though and holds to 30.
