    You can stay on this page to watch the next match on Andy Murray Arena, as Wimbledon runner-up Amanda Anisimova takes on fellow American Iva Jovic.

    Still to come today, Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu will both return to the court for their quarter-final matches following the schedule disruption caused by yesterday's rubbish weather.

    Boulter takes on top seed Elena Rybakina, before Raducanu takes on either Harriet Dart or Kamilla Rakhimova.

    Dart and Rakhimova remain locked in battle deep in a deciding set after almost three hours on court.

    Here's what Emma Raducanu had to say following her victory over Sorana Cirstea, who beat her in the Transylvania Open final earlier this year:

    "It feels incredible to come out and play how I did today against Sorana. She is a player who has been in incredible form this year and had some amazing wins. Earlier in the year she beat me but I'm really glad I could get her back at home as well.

    "I think I played at a really high level, I knew I had to go out and play aggressively and dictate. As soon as I took my foot off the gas a little bit she was coming back.

    "I have another match to come later, so I hope you guys can stick around!

    "Thanks so much to everyone who stuck around yesterday, I really wanted to show some good tennis to make up for yesterday's rain delays."
