Brutal way for things to end for @GrigorDimitrov tonight. Was playing superb tennis, totally outplaying Sinner. Rubbish way to end his @Wimbledon.

De Minaur had a point to lead 5-1 in that fourth set but from that moment on, Novak turned the screw. Impressive finish to what was a tough match.

Each time Djokovic has hit a double fault in this match, he's been broken.

Good comeback from Djokovic against De MInaur on Centre Court. This isn't over yet, though. De Minaur has played a smart match, it's not like he's just going for broke, and there's work to be done yet for Novak. But Novak has raised his game, especially on serve.

It's really windy @Wimbledon today - not going to be easy conditions.

As expected, Jordan Thompson has withdrawn from the men's doubles @Wimbledon. Time for him to rest up, get his body right and get back on the US hardcourts when he's ready. Will be back in the top 40 on Monday so in a good place.

British doubles player Henry Patten tops the fines list so far at @Wimbledon with a $12,500 fine for verbal abuse. Adrian Mannarino second-highest at $6,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Pavlyuchenkova quotes on court after that incident: "I don't know if it was in or out, I don't know. You cannot prove it. Because she's local, they can say whatever. You took the game away from me. They stole a game from me. They stole it.".

Guessing video replay will have to be brought in for future years at @Wimbledon after that incident in the Pavlyuchenkova-Kartal match. Umpire should have been able to look at that call, see it was way out, and the players would have fine with it.

Such a shame for Jordan Thompson. Miracle, really, that he was able to last that long given how banged up he was. But - on the upside, he'll be back in the top 40 and hopefully can rest and get ready for the US swing.

I know that in modern sporting terms, having the middle Sunday off at @Wimbledon was a bit ridiculous, but I still miss it!.

Liudmila Samsonova hit a 128mph serve today at @Wimbledon, just one mile short of the fastest ever women's serve here (Venus Williams, 129mph in 2008).

Brilliant first set from Emma Raducanu, saved 7 set points and had one of her own but edged out 8-6 by Sabalenka, who hit a perfect drop shot to save set point herself. Really great atmosphere. Good to see.

Very, very sharp start from Raducanu. Returning really aggressively, moving well. Atmosphere in Centre Court is great, too.

Hell of an effort by Jordan Thompson, held together by bandages and painkillers, to make the last 16 @Wimbledon for the first time. 19 aces and 55/78 at the net!.

August Holmgren, the Dane who took out Tomas Machac in round two at @Wimbledon, lists "ultimate hammocking" as one of his favourite things to do. Take a look at it, it's mental.

Really impressive from @cilic_marin throughout - he was the aggressor throughout against Draper. Hard to be critical of Draper, he's only just starting out really. Has had a great year and will learn from his @rolandgarros and @Wimbledon losses.
