Romero, who will report to Triple-A Memphis, has yet to record a decision in 25 career relief appearances over parts of three seasons with the Phillies. The 25-year-old has a 13.50 ERA in two appearances this season after recovering from left elbow surgery.

Yet it wasn't completely plain sailing for the 35-year-old Murray, who appeared to pick up an injury in the second set and was limping heavily by the end of the match, with third seed Alexander Bublik awaiting him in the quarter-finals.

England captain Leah Williamson added: 'None of us have been in that position before to walk out at this stage, but I think in a tournament you grow game by game and the opportunity I've had for #FreeFireNewUpdate growth in this tournament has given me confidence.'

England have home advantage, playing in front of a sold-out Wembley, #BestElitePassEver and Williamson added: 'Nobody ever has a home game where they don't have an advantage because there will be more people here for us tomorrow than Germany and this is our national stadium.

The Sydneysider will next face either his compatriot Jason Kubler, the Brisbane battler who's fresh from his memorable career-best run through the qualifiers to the last-16 at Wimbledon, #FistFight or Canadian top seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who were meeting later on Wednesday.

And 24 hours later, he looked as if his remarkable week might even see the world No.202 topple former world No.1 Murray too in the grasscourt tournament as he took the opening set and led 2-0 in the second.

Purcell flew straight from Wimbledon, where he and Matt Ebden became the first Aussie pair to win the men's doubles for 22 years, to Newport, Rhode Island, where, thanks to a wildcard entry, he defeated French leftie Adrian Mannarino in straight sets at the Hall of Fame Open on Tuesday.

The injury-bedevilled Duckworth, who'd had his 10th bout of surgery in January - this time to his hip - is showing signs of recovering some of the form that took him to a career-high 46 at the start of the year.

But there will be Australian interest in the quarters too after James Duckworth, the No.8 seed, battled past Frenchman Quentin Halys 7-5 3-6 6-2 in a tough two-hour duel in one of Wednesday's early matches.

Mr Gaukroger said: 'A few weeks after the floodlit game had been played, the upgrading of the A82 Inverness - Fort William road was completed and it was a huge improvement which brought many more visitors to the area.

'Inverness has such a rich football history and it is fun researching the stories that made the headlines down the years and recording the stories of players, officials and supporters who helped make them.'

'In July 1933, one of those visitors was George Spicer, who while travelling a few miles south-west of Inverness with his wife, spotted a 'most extraordinary form of animal' crossing the road in front of their car.

He added: 'Now, what has this got to do with Caley's floodlights, you might ask? By October 1933, London newspapers were sending correspondents north to cover the story and a reward of £20,000 was offered for the monster's capture.

He told how the first game in Scotland under what we would consider modern floodlights took place at Telford Street Park, Inverness on Wednesday March 22, 1933 when Caledonian beat Clachnacuddin 2-1 in a benefit match.

The floodlights, three lamps each of 1,000 candle power, had been erected on poles along the two sides of the pitch at the football stadium and according to reports at the time 'play was never difficult to follow'.

'People camped out along the shores of the loch, trying to spot the beast and in order to assist with the search, Caley's pioneering floodlights were dismantled and taken a few miles down the road to Loch Ness to set up to assist the search for Nessie.'
