    This is going to leave Anne Keothavong with some interesting choices for tomorrow.

    Emma Raducanu will be a shoe-in after that performance, but will she stick with Katie Boulter? Or will she change things up?

    That's one of the dilemmas she will wrestle with this evening.

    More from Emma Raducanu following her win against Caroline Garcia: "It is very difficult to play Caroline who has been having such a good season. I was definitely the underdog going out here in her own house, on clay. I definitely turned it around, I fought really hard, I dug in.

    "That was a really good test for myself because I haven't had those level matches very often. I had only two against top ten players and I know Caroline is a top ten player.

    "I am very pleased with my performance and very happy to bring the point home for the team and go into tomorrow 1-1."

    Simply magnificent from Emma Raducanu. From a set and a break down she turns the tables on Caroline Garcia in her own back yard.

    She levels the tie in spectacular fashion. That is a stunning day at the office. A jaw-dropping performance from the former world number 10 on a surface she is not experienced in.
