Hey everyone, John Wortham here. It is quick serve presented by Oslo's Sleep Buds. I'm John

Wartham behind Court 14. As you can see by these airbags behind me covering the court,

these inflatable tarps. It's been a rainy day, but that's okay. We'll be checking in throughout the

event with quick hits, highlight the top moments, upset storylines. We'll track it all the way through.

This is Friday. Still a bit of a, I'm not sure what the word is, not quite a hangover, maybe an

afterglow from last night's ceremony, uh, toasting Andy Murray on his career,

always a bit awkward when, uh, the person is young and financially secure and relatively

healthy. It doesn't sort of quite, uh, chime like a funeral, but it was a sendoff for

Andy Murray. Um, I wish I had anydick here to dive in. It just still strikes

me that this guy who existed at the same time, in the shadow of these three great mountains in

Adolf Federer and Jokov, which still managed to stir such emotions and put together such a

legacy, he will be missed. He's still kind of sort of in the tournament and kind of sort of

on the schedule for the Olympics, so it's not necessarily a retirement, but that ceremony

last night still echoed today. There was, however, a lot of tennis, and it was probably

fitting that the day after we toasted Andy Murray, a Brit really stole the show. That was

Emeraldicano who played center court and was just terrific, just an outstanding

composed performance beating Maria Sokery. And it sort of reminds us of what a strange career

it's been for Emera Radicanu, but also how stellar players she can be when she is on. She, of course,

won the U.S. Open as a qualifier, one of the stranger major breakthroughs in recent memory.

That was three years ago since then.

It's been a lot of injury and some defeats and some decisions sought to play.

And then she comes back in these last few weeks and looks like a player capable of winning more majors.
