Wimbledon 2019: Order of play for Tuesday – day eight featuring Andy Murray, Serena Williams, Johanna Konta, Simona Halep

The women’s singles take centre stage at Wimbledon on Tuesday as we approach the business end of the third Grand Slam of the season.

An all-American clash gets us underway on Centre Court, as Alison Riske takes on Serena Williams, before home hope Johanna Konta plays Barbora Strycova.

On Court No.1, Simona Halep — who knocked out 15-year-old sensation Coco Gauff on Monday — plays Zhang Shuai for a place in the semi-finals. Then, Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina takes on Karolina Muchova.

There will also be plenty of doubles action, with Andy Murray and Serena Williams in action later in the day.

Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's Wimbledon action. We'll be bringing you live updates from the biggest matches of the day, with Serena Williams, Johanna Konta and Simona Halep all taking to court in the women's quarter-finals.

Coverage gets under way at 11am, so make sure to tune in!

We've had legendary coach Nick Bollettieri writing for us throughout this year's Championships.

Here's what he had to say about Ashleigh Barty's disappointing last-16 defeat:

Why Ashleigh Barty’s attitude disappointed as she missed out on chance to make last eight

2019-07-09T09:12:14.140Z

While yesterday may have brought to a close Cori Gauff's fairytale run, the nature of her defeat to Simona Halep certainly reaffirmed the Romanian's Wimbledon credentials.

"That she swatted Gauff aside so ruthlessly — 6-3, 6-3 in an economical 75-minutes — is testament to the huge strides forward she has made in recent years," writes Luke Brown:

Halep beats both Gauff and a partisan No.1 Court crowd

2019-07-09T09:49:46.580Z

Former Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza has split with her coach Sam Sumyk after a disappointing season, the Spaniard said on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old former world No 1 lost in the opening round of Wimbledon to Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia, the fifth Grand Slam in a row she had fallen before the quarter-finals.

"Few words to announce the end of an extraordinary ride, 2 Grand Slams and World N0 1. Beyond grateful for this last 4 years. Merci Sam," Muguruza said on Twitter.

Muguruza hired Frenchman Sumyk, formerly the coach of Victoria Azarenka and Eugenie Bouchard, in 2015 and won the French Open that year and Wimbledon in 2017.

Despite winning a title this year in Monterrey, she has slid down the WTA rankings and entered Wimbledon down at No 27.

BREAKING NEWS - WEDNESDAY'S ORDER OF PLAY (singles):

2019-07-09T11:47:21.923Z

We're about 15 minutes from Alison Riske and Serena Williams on Centre Court!

2019-07-09T11:48:40.210Z

We'll also be posting updates from Court No 1 - the first match is seventh seed Simona Halep, who beat 15-year-old Coco Gauff yesterday, against Chinese player Shuai Zhang.

2019-07-09T12:08:58.630Z

Alison Riske and Serena Williams are out on court - this is their first ever meeting.

Riske is in superb grass court form - she won an ITF event in Surbiton, before winning her first WTA title in four years in the Netherlands a week later.

Williams, the seven-time champion, has spent the least amount of time on court out of all the players in the last eight. This is the first of two matches she's playing on Centre Court today, as later on she will play with Andy Murray in the mixed doubles.

2019-07-09T12:09:11.796Z

This is brilliant.

2019-07-09T12:09:27.343Z

Serena will get us underway, and will be serving first on Centre...

2019-07-09T12:13:09.610Z

*Riske 0-1 Williams

Williams holds to 30, but a solid start from Riske, who sliced a drop shot just wide to give the opening game to Williams.

Two flat-hitting players here, perfect for a decent grass court match-up.

2019-07-09T12:15:52.350Z

Riske 1-1 Williams*

A big Williams return at 0-15 sets the tone - she is latching onto anything short from Riske...

A forehand winner follows, but a Riske body serve brings the score to 30-30.

An ace out wide by Riske, and an overhit Williams return concludes the game - Riske holds serve to 30.

2019-07-09T12:18:18.560Z

Riske 1-1 Williams* (40-40)

Riske doesn't look overawed by the occasion so far.

A beautifully struck backhand winner from the unseeded American brings her to 30-30, but an ace from Williams and an overhit backhand from Serena means we have our first deuce game of the match.

2019-07-09T12:19:57.413Z

*Riske 2-1 Williams

RISKE BREAKS!

What a start for Alison Riske! A shanked Serena groundstoke brings up the first break point of the match, and another error into the net from Williams means the early initiative is with Riske on Centre!
