Wimbledon: Hours after Andy Murray had waved goodbye to The Championships, local teenager Emma Raducanu lifted British spirits with an astonishing performance on No.1 Court to storm into the second week at Wimbledon.
Making her Grand Slam debut at the All England Club, the 18-year-old world No.338 held her nerve impressively and defied a ranking gap of 293 spots to outplay the Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-3 7-5.
She is yet to drop a set and on Monday will face unseeded Australian Ajla Tomljanovic.
Nowhere in tennis makes Coco Gauff's nerves fizz like Centre Court at the All England Club. But the 17-year-old American didn't exactly look as though she was suffering from heavy legs, a hammering heartbeat and a tight arm - all the classic signs of a jumpy, nervous tennis player - as she reached the last 16 at Wimbledon for the second time.
While Gauff had felt the nervous tension in her second round on Centre Court, on this occasion she looked to be much more at ease with the privilege of playing on what she calls an "exclusive" rectangle of grass as she defeated Slovenia's Kaja Juvan 6-3, 6-3. She is yet to drop a set this Fortnight.
