Just imagine if he plays del Potro on centre court in his last match. I don't think anybody could be prepared for the amount of tears and hugs that would produce.

A lot of Aussie youngsters coming through especially in the women's game.
 
Eurosport 1 from 12am:
Konta v Tomljanovic
S Williams v Maria A Zverev Bedene
Djokovic v Kreuger
Paire v Thiem

No schedule up for Eurosport 2 yet.

Yeah, the landscape on their women's side isn't too dissimilar to that of GB with a fair few 18-23 year old's currently in the top 250. There are a few more Aussies at the moment, but then they do benefit from a more extensive home ITF scene, often in favourable positions in the calendar.

*more favourable.

Hopefully Konta comes through this one. If she does, 3/8 will be a credible number coming through their matches, as some were always going to be long shots.

Don't think there's a clear favourite here though.

Aye, 2 small ones.

Konta broken already.

Konta in a right battle here. Won the 1st set tie break, but very little in it. On serve in the 2nd, but Tomljanovic getting opportunities on the Konta serve.

And there's the first break of the 2nd set. 7-6 2-4.
 
Upset alert.

Ah well, they've probably done me a favour switching to Serena, needed to go to bed soon anyway. I'll check the outcome in the morning.

Konta lost the second set, but still nip and tuck in the decider.

Just saw that Serena has taken her first set 6-0 in under 18 minutes, dropping just 5 points as well - ominous signs...
