Konta 4-4 Makarova. Konta's serve has gone all wrong, which is a bit of a shame since it's her super power, but not wrong enough to deny her that game.

Raonic 6-4 6-3 5-7 4-5 Wawrinka. We've been on court for three hours now. It could be another hour if Raonic doesn't break Wawrinka's serve, now.

Konta 2-1 Makarova. Much like her third round game, really good opening from Konta, who gets the early break. She's hitting really well, with a lot of power.
Konta 1-1 Makarova. Makarova held her serve in the first game. Into the second and Konta is struggling a bit with her first serve. But she hits an ace to gain advantage and capitalises on an error by Makarova. Both survive break points in their opening serves.
Johanna Konta, who's had a spectacularly successful six months, has levelled her pervious best Grand Slam result - 4th round at the US Open last year. This is her first Australian Open, and what a start it's been, knocking out Venus Williams in the process.
They're on court now and getting ready to warm up.
