That's just about your lot for our live text commentary of this evening's matches.
It was a day to remember for 27-year-old British qualifier Lily Miyazaki, who reached the second-round proper of a Grand Slam for the first time after a 6-3 6-3 win over Margarita Betova.
Emma Raducanu, of course, came through qualifying to win the US Open in 2021. Miyazaki couldn't, could she?

Game, set and match Ruud
Ruud 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 6-4 7-6 (7-5) Nava
Fifth seed Casper Ruud has been made to work in his first round match by American qualifier Emilio Nava, but he eventually closed out the match in four sets after a tie-break.
It took last year's runner-up a little over three hours to make round two, where he will face Zhizhen Zhang of China.
Game, set and match Rybakina
Rybakina 6-2 6-1 Kostyuk
Fourth seed Elena Rybakina has cruised into the second round, breaking Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk five times on her way to a comfortable first round win.
The former Wimbledon champion has never got beyond the third round at Flushing Meadows but she easily brushed aside her unseeded opponents ranked 32nd in the world.
It seemed a tough match on paper; the Kazakh made sure it wasn't.
'Smart tactics from Miyazaki...'
"Lily Miyazaki regularly posed Margarita Betova problems with her consistent returning, using the cross-court forehand in particular to good effect in a smart tactical performance," is the verdict of my esteemed colleague Jonathan Jurejko.
He was on Court 8 for every moment of Miyazak's first victory in the main draw of a Gran Slam.

Game, set and match Haddad Maia
Stephens 2-6 7-5 4-6 Haddad Maia
Sloane Stephens, champion in 2017, is out after an epic battle with Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia.

But the 19th seed holds her nerve to reach the second round at Flushing Meadows for only the second time.
'New York distractions take my mind off score'
Miyazaki 6-3 6-3 Betova
Britain's Lily Miyazaki on how she is dealing with New York's many distractions: "It’s very different to Wimbledon but I actually think that it actually helps me because when it is really silent you can get into your own head.
"Here there are so many distractions it keeps my mind off the score and things like that. I gave actually enjoyed the atmosphere here.
"I was really grateful for the support from Jodie and everyone else and it really helped me in tough moments."
On facing Belinda Bencic in the second round:
"It’s going to be a tough match for sure. I have seen her play many times but she probably doesn’t know very much about me."
Post update
Tim Henman says on Sky Sports that Lily Miyazki "tried to play tennis on her terms, which was so impressive about her performance".
Henman adds: "I think if she goes for her shots against Belinda Bencic she could cause another upset."
Rybakina breaks in second set
Rybakina 6-2 3-0 Kostyuk*
Elena Rybakina is racing towards the second round breaking early in the second set against Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk.

Miyazaki 'lost for words'
Miyazaki 6-3 6-3 Betova
Lily Miyazki speaking on her main draw debut: "I am lost for words right now.
"Coming into this tournament Ididn’t expect to be at this stage just yet."
On her Wimbledon experience compared to today:
"That experience at Wimbledon was huge for me. The nightbefore I was really nervous and I could hardly sleep but before this match Ijust told myself it’s just another match.
"I had played once at this stagebefore so the Wimbledon experience was really beneficial."
