    *Swiatek 6-0 4-2 Inglis

    Maddison Inglis gets a second game on the board with a 40-30 service hold.

    The crowd absolutely erupts for the Australian, who is the last-standing qualifier in the women's singles draw.

    She has to avoid Iga Swiatek's backhand for the rest of this second set though, because the Pole is just hitting winner after winner on that side.

    Luciano Darderi has found his serve and ironed out his forehand unforced errors. Jannik Sinner's game is trending in the opposite direction.

    Darderi holds to love to send the third set to a tie-break where, let's be honest, anything could happen with old Luciano involved.

    Swiatek 6-0 4-1 Inglis*

    I did say Iga Swiatek isn't in the mood for wasting time out on court today. The Pole races to another service hold to love.

    She has won 73% of her first serve points and 75% of her second serve points in this fourth-round match.

    Where does Maddison Inglis go from here? I don't know.

    I have noticed that the Sinner serve has been dropping a bit shorter than we're used to; I don't know if the legs are hurting, but it's more short than we're used to.

    It's something to keep an eye on.

    Teasing tennis from Jannik Sinner. He catches Luciano Darderi on the back foot with a drop shot and follows it up with a well-placed lob. The 22nd seed chases back and, to the crowd's delight, opts for the tweener but it lands nowhere near the court.

    Sinner completes the hold to 15 with a forehand winner.

    Over to you, Luciano. Is another blockbuster service game on the cards?

    Another two break points for Iga Swiatek - and she doesn't take those gifts lightly.

    The Pole takes another service break at 15-40.

    She is running Maddison Inglis ragged, but credit to the Australian who is doing everything she possibly can to stay in this second set.

    It's a good time to point out that 166 ranking places separate these two players.

    Iga Swiatek isn't worried about her first serve because her second serve is doing the trick right now.

    A perfectly placed forehand, an unforced forehand error from Maddison Inglis, an unreturned first serve and forehand winner down the line is enough for a hold to love.

    We are back on serve in this second set.

    It could be over in a matter of seconds, but Sinner has been a lot more animated than we've seen him.

    There have been a lot of fist pumps and a lot of intense looks over at his box.

    It might be quite critical for him to get this done in straight sets.

    That's a brutal return from Jannik Sinner, the ball kissing the baseline at Luciano Darderi's feet. The 22nd seed's reply goes into the tramlines.

    Oh, Luciano, no!

    He bounces back with an ace for advantage but then sends a forehand long to invite more pressure on his serve.

    Luciano Darderi's serve has been so much better in the third set but after two aces earlier in the game, there's an untimely wobble at 40-30.

    Double fault. Deuce.

  19. Swiatek breaks backpublished at 09:00 GMT 26 January

    *Swiatek 6-0 1-1 Inglis

    Iga Swiatek posts an immediate response with the break back.

    The Pole is pushing Maddison Inglis all the way on her serve, and she is finding a lot of joy in her backhand cross-court returns.

    The Australian's coach has told her to avoid serving to that side where she can but, unfortunately for her, Swiatek is able to dictate from either side.
