    Men's 200m freestyle semi-finals

    How will James Guy get on this evening?

    He came out of the blocks like a scolded cat in last night's 400m freestyle final before tying up and finishing sixth. But 200m is his preferred event.

    Great Britain have never won a medal in this event. His semi-final goes off at 02:20 BST.

  20. Del Potro's day gets a liftpublished at 01:54 British Summer Time 8 August 2016

    Djokovic 6-7 (4-7) Del Potro

    Juan Martin del Potro's day is going pretty well - now at least. The Argentine, a set up against Novak Djokovic (see 01:42 entry), had a nightmare morning though.

    Why? Because Del Potro apparently spent 40 minutes stuck in a lift. Without a phone signal and stuck between floors, it seems he had to rely on the kindness of some passing Argentine handball players to escape his ordeal.

    As Fede Pizarro tweeted: "A power cut and somebody trapped, the Gladiators arrived to rescue Juan Martin del Potro."
