I assume that's why she was a bit heavy legged today
Tomorrow, Raducanu plays at 6pm U.K. time (Stadium 1 - first on court).
Murray then starts around 7:30pm U.K. time (Stadium 2 - second on court after Querrey vs Isner).
Last but not least, Harriet Dart is on court likely around 9pm U.K. time (Stadium 4 - third on court after Karatsev vs Johnson and van de Zandschlup vs FAA).
Norrie beat Basilashvili in three sets. His fourth round opponent is world no. 43 Jenson Brooksby. Brooksby beat fifth seed Tsitsipas in the third round so not to be taken lightly.

Not a good day for the Brits unfortunately. Can Harriet Dart do any better?

Norrie v Alcaraz to start shortly.
