Live Updates

18:22
Federer 6-3 1-2 Struff
 
Federer has got his act together and after his slow start has taken this match by the balls (no pun intended). He polished off the first set in just 24 minutes. Oosh.
18:04
Federer 3-2 Struff
 
The Swiss is struggling to recreate the form that saw him cruise to victory in the second round. There's a degree of frustration creeping into his game as he attempts to get to grips with his 6ft 5in German opponent.
17:33
 
Serena Williams was given a thorough workout but made it through to the second week.

The seven-time champion beat Kristina Mladenovic 7-5 7-6 (7/2) just minutes after her sister Venus went out.

Mladenovic served for the first set, but Williams survived and then stepped up in the second-set tiebreak to move into the fourth round.

17:23
Britain's Cameron Norrie and Jay Clarke lost a five-hour marathon in the men's doubles at Wimbledon.
 
The duo, both first-round casualities in the singles, paired up to face Marcelo Arevalo and Hans Podlipnik-Castillo in the opening round.
 
Norrie and Clarke dropped the first set but edged the next two to take the lead, only for Arevalo and Podlipnik-Castillo to haul themselves level.
 
The fifth set then lasted an amazing two hours and 23 minutes in front of a packed Court 14, with Norrie and Clarke agonisingly edged out 22-20.
 
17:08
Five-time champion Venus Williams has lost in the third round at Wimbledon, beaten 6-2 6-7 (5/7) 8-6 by Dutch 20th seed Kiki Bertens.
 
 Sister Serena, meanwhile, leads 7-5 5-4 in her match against Kristina Mladenovic. It's been a similarly tough one for her but will she be making an equally early exit as well?
16:57
On Centre Court, it's on serve in the second set.
 
Serena Williams won the first against Kristina Mladenovic 7-5.
16:01
The good news for the Williams family: Venus has just on a second set tie-break 7-5 to take her match with Kiki Bertens into a third set.
 
The bad news: Sister Serena has made a poor start on Centre Court and trails Kristina Mladenovic 3-2 in the first set.
15:43
Report: Unseeded Frenchman Gael Monfils tamed the power of American Sam Querrey to reach the Wimbledon fourth round for the first time on Friday, having previously fallen six times in the third round.

It looked like being a familiar story for the 31-year-old when 11th seed Querrey bombed down nine aces to win the opening set but crowd-pleaser Monfils responded with some dazzling tennis to win 5-7 6-4 6-4 6-2 on Centre Court.

Monfils levelled the match with an ace of his own after breaking for a 5-3 lead in the second set.

A forehand pass gave him the breakthrough midway through the third set and Querrey's resistance faded in the heat as Monfils raced through the fourth set in 23 minutes.

He will face eighth seed Kevin Anderson next.

15:23
There's an upset on the cards at No 1 Court.
 
After taking the opening set 6-2, 20th seed Kiki Bertens leads 9th seed Venus Williams 3-1 in the second. 
 
Meanwhile Donna Vekic has just taken the opening set against Yanina Wickmayer. 
15:08
Camila Giorgi of Italy advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon after saving a match point while beating Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic 3-6, 7-6 (6) 6-2. 

The 52nd-ranked Giorgi produced a backhand winner at 4-5, 30-40 in the second set, then won a tiebreaker to force a deciding set. 

Having made 18 unforced errors in each of the first two sets, Giorgi tightened up her game to make just eight in the third and advance to the last 16 at Wimbledon for the first time since 2012. 

She will next face 35th-ranked Ekaterina Makarova, who overcame another Czech, Lucie Safarova, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. 
14:30
Alexander Zverev will be thankful for last night's bad light as he returned to despatch Taylor Fritz in the outstanding second-round match.

The fourth seed was trailing by two sets to one when darkness descended on Court One on Thursday and all the momentum was with the American.

But he turned things around on Friday, winning the remaining two sets in style to seal a 6-4 5-7 6-7 (0/7) 6-1 6-2 victory.

Winning five sets at a grand slam is becoming the norm for Zverev as he had to do it three times in five matches at Roland Garros last month.
 
14:19
Kevin Anderson is the first man through to the fourth round of Wimbledon.
 
The South African, seeded 32, beat Phillip Kohlschreiber 6-3 7-5 7-5 and awaits the winner of Sam Querrey and Gael Monfils' match.
 
Anderson, who got to the US Open final last September, served 22 aces against the German.
14:17
Madison Keys became the latest top-10 casualty at Wimbledon after defeat by world number 120 Evgeniya Rodina.

Keys, a US Open runner-up last year, crashed out 7-5 5-7 6-4 to the Russian on a baking hot Court Three.
 
The 23-year-old American threatened a remarkable comeback in the third-round match, coming from a set and 4-0 down to force a decider, but Rodina held her nerve to reach the last 16 at a grand slam for the first time.
 
Keys' defeat means that seven of the top 10 women's seeds at this year's championships have already been knocked out.
 
Rodina could face seven-time winner and current tournament favourite Serena Williams in round four.
13:39
Fritz 4-6 7-5 7-6 (7-0) 1-6 1-0 Zverev
 
After their game was suspended last night due to poor light, Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz's second-round showdown is into its fifth set. The German has started strongly today after his mid-match wobble yesterday.
13:36
Keys 5-7 7-5 2-3 Rodina
 
We're into a final and third set. The American has, rather unbelievably, turned this one around.
13:34
Novak Djokovic allayed injury fears ahead of his Wimbledon third-round clash against Kyle Edmund.

The three-time champion tweaked his left knee during an otherwise straightforward victory over Horacio Zeballos on Thursday.

Alarm bells rang when Rafael Nadal walked out to practice on Djokovic's allotted court at Aorangi Park on Friday and initially there was no sign of the Serbian.

But when he did show up to the practice venue 15 minutes late it was without strapping on his knee and with no signs of discomfort. Edmund and Djokovic face off on Saturday for a place in the last-16 stage.
12:59
Hold the phone. Keys has fought her way back from the brink to lead this second set 5-4. Having been four games down, she's now in the ascent as she bids to convert these gains into a set. She's gone from woeful to brilliant at the flick of a switch. What a match this is shaping up to be.
12:37
Keys is on course for an early exit here at SW19. Having lost the first set 5-7, she's now four games down in the second. Rodina, the world No 120, is in full cruise control and showing no signs of fading.
 
12:18
Madison Keys and Evgeniya Rodina are currently in action on Court Three, with the Russian 6-5 in the opening set. Elsewhere, Kevin Anderson leads 5-3 in his first set against Philipp Kohlschreiber on Court Two.
