Osaka now a double break up against Keys. This would be a great win for her.

Konta is currently queen but the brilliant Broady is a rising star and she generated the most excitement during her match yesterday from anybody competing in any sport from Great Britain since the Olympics.

Few surprises in the ladies?

Mixed results for the American men at the moment.

Marco Bag still going strong!

You've not been watching Laura Muir's exploits in the Diamond League then?

Or Alex Hales and England in the cricket.

The cricket wasn't bad either!

Anyway good to see Konta doing well.

How is the draw panning out if she wins?

Bencic being blown away by Jo hurrikonta, who breaks at the beginning of the ffirst set. If you go away to watch a soap, you'll miss the end of this match.

Okay... I can't say that I noticed much coverage on it. That's strange.

Hurrikonta? The gift that keeps on giving.

Helped by Osaka choking, no doubt. Unforced errors and double fault.

Uh oh, 5-5. She's had her chances now, I think.

Sadly our media is more interested in football than our tremendous tennis superstars, with the exception of Murray. He's the only one they care about.

I'm suprised at Cilic. I thought he was in with a good chance at this tournament. He's a mess today.

Sock wins.

Non of the British Women fall into 'superstar' category. Maybe in a few slams time.

Osaka is a mess. She's going to lose this.

And Keys squares it and will undoubtedly now win. The Yanks are coming. And Jo Konta.

52 minutes! A breeze compared to that last ordeal. Not as close as I expected.

Wow Jo has won already. That was quick.

Oh Naomi. Now serving to stay in it after serving for it twice... I'm not confident.

Konta has bounced back from Wednesday by blowing Bencic off the court. She only lost 3 games and she's in to round 4. The whole world knows, it's the Jo show today.
