Magic Monday at Wimbledon sees all remaining singles competitors in action on one of the grand days in the schedule, with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams all in action on Centre Court at SW19.
Reigning Wimbledon champion Federer took little time in dispatching Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in straight sets, before the women's singles took centre stage as Williams breezed past unseeded Russian Evgeniya Rodina. The final match on Centre Court sees No 2 seed Rafael Nadal face Jiri Vesely, with a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs.
Court 1 sees plenty of big names, too, as two-time Grand Slam winner Angelique Kerber kicks the action off against Belinda Bencic, before Gael Monfils plays Kevin Anderson and Novak Djokovic looks to continue his impressive run this summer against Karen Khachanov. An appetising encounter on Court 2 will round out the action as Juan Martin del Potro faces Gilles Simon.
British interest in the singles competitions may be over, but there's still home hopes in the doubles as Jamie Murray partners with Bruno Soares to play British brothers Kenneth and Neal Skupski, while in the mixed doubles Jay Clarke and Harriet Dart play the pairing of Max Mirnyi and Kveta Peschke.
