Barty, who’s the Wimbledon champion, held a 5-2 lead in the final set and twice served for the match but the crowd favourite Rogers battled her way back into contention.

The world number 43 then came through the resulting tie-break to beat the top seed 6-2 1-6 7-6(5).

Rogers will face British teenager Emma Raducanu next.
