7:48 pm
l0 carne l0 came and iga swiatek both won grand slams as teenagers, since then there careers have gonein since then there careers have gone in opposite directions. iga swiatek shot out of the blocks and gave a sign of things to come. radacanu was unable to cope with her opponenfs unable to cope with her opponent's groundstrokes. iga swiatek raced into a one set lead with barely a sweat broken. iga swiatek did not let up broken. iga swiatek did not let up the pace in the second set. radacanu's game abandoned her. match point perhaps putting her out of her misery, she had the joint heaviest defeat of her career in just over joint heaviest defeat of her career injust over an joint heaviest defeat of her career in just over an hour. iga swiatek marches on in great form.
7:49 pm
iga swiatek marches on in great form. so a chastening defeat for emma raducanu. swiatek has won all four meetings between the two and afterwards raducanu was able to reflect on what went wrong. going into it i knew i had to play really well. you are facing a top player and i think today, credit t iga swiatek he played great tennis. it was a little bit of her playing really well and me not playing very well. the scoreline was harsh, but i feel like i look back and know exactly what i need to do and i take it as feedback. i am very clear on what happened out there and the scoreline reflects one thing, but i think, you know, if i am not necessarily able to hold my service games, or dictate that, i feel it seeps into the rest of my game on my second service, and how the point is
7:50 pm
structured from then on and in the return game is because you feel more pressure. i think that was probably a big aspect of today and probably the first two matches as well. swiatek meanwhile will now face germany's eva lys, who's made history by becoming the first lucky loser to reach the fourth round of the women's singles at this tournament in the open era. lys is ranked 128th in the world and came from a set down to beat romania's jaqueline cristian 4—6 6—3 6—3. earlier this week, lys had herflight home booked after losing in the final round of qualifying. elina svitolina says she was "inspired" by her husband gael monfils' performance before her third round win overjasmine paolini. ukraine's svitolina beat the italian fourth seed in three sets on margaret court arena. that was the same court on which monfils had beaten men's fourth seed taylor fritz in four sets just hours earlier. the 38—year—old's win meant he became the second oldest man since 1988 to reach the fourth

7:53 pm
gavin ramjaun spoke to another united legend, wayne rooney, about the legacy left by the man known as "the king". i was very fortunate that dennis presented me with the number ten shirt. it was initially number eights when i joined man united and when ruud van nistelrooy left he presented me with the number ten shirt. it was a huge honour to be presented with it. to wear that number for the football club was a huge thing. every time i met him he gave me good advice about scoring goals mack and i'm very sad last night and i would like to pass on my condolences to his family. i'm sure everyone is grieving and it is a sad moment because he was a legend of man united. he was a realfamily
7:54 pm
man and he he has left us us. what sort of player was he to look at and learn from? when ou look at and learn from? when you watch _ look at and learn from? when you watch the _ look at and learn from? when you watch the goals _ look at and learn from? when you watch the goals he - look at and learn from? when l you watch the goals he scored, the main ones that i took where the main ones that i took where the goals which got your tally up the goals which got your tally up and as a forward the ones to know when your football game. those are the main things. the dennis, obviously, to be such a legend at manchester united, even though it is well known he scored the goal for manchester city which relegated man united. the statue outside the stadium shows what a great player and great person he was. that statue, the best statue is symbolic for loads of fans and how poignant will it be now for people seeing that outside the ground over the next few days?
7:55 pm
it is such an icon and piece of the stadium, notjust to remember the three players but the history of the football club. bobby charlton went through in 1958 as well and then obviously dennis with his goals and george best with his creativity and ability. the three most iconic players of the football club and i am sure outside the stadium today and tomorrow there will be people passing by to show their love for the three of them, but in particular their love for dennis at this moment. liverpool are clear at the top of the premier league. the goal in the 91st minute and 93rd minute to take arne slot�*s side six points clear. that means
