However, the new reports are that Raducanu, 20, will be back to the official circuit before it winds up in early November.

JOE BERNSTEIN: Iga Swiatek showed the tenacity of a champion to win two match points in a Centre Court classic that eventually brought her to the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

But she fell apart during the tiebreak and then squandered a prompt break in the second set. She was staring down the barrel and emerging with a stunning forehand and then cross-court backhand champion to survive at 5-6.
