Ajla Tomljanovic will face Ash Barty tomorrow in the quarter-finals. It's her first ever visit to the last-eight of a Grand Slam. But let's hope that Emma Raducanu is okay. She seems to have the game to be a huge star of British tennis for years to come. She'll be back for sure.

Emma Raducanu 4-6 0-3 Ajla Tomljanovic: Raducanu is in a spot of bother here.

It's not entirely clear what the injury is from afar, but she is visibly struggling.
Emma Raducanu 4-6 0-2 Ajla Tomljanovic: Raducanu goes for the huge winner after saving the first of two break points, but it’s got a bit too much on it and she’s 2-0 down in the second.
Emma Raducanu 4-6 0-1 Ajla Tomljanovic: It’s a service hold to start the second set for Tomljanovic and Raducanu takes some time to compose herself after the game. It looked a touch like she was hyperventilating, hopefully she’s okay.

Emma Raducanu 2-3 Ajla Tomljanovic: Another hold for Tomljanovic. The Croatian-born Aussie has never reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam. Of course, neither has her opponent tonight.
