With Florence going at 19:15, it could be the start of a medal-heavy evening for Great Britain. At 20:00, GB begins finals in both the women's 10m synchronised platform diving and the women's team gymnastics. Stay tuned.

Seventh in the semi final. That's not what we expected but David Florence is through. The feeling here is that he was playing things safe there and not going all out. 

Someone from camp Great Britain tells me "I don't think we need to be alarmed."

I've just seen Team GB chef de mission Mark England here. What brings the boss to this venue today and not any of the others? 

I'm guessing it's a sense of gold.

Johanna Konta is up against it on Court One, struggling to hold her serve against Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova. If she doesn't do so in the next game, she will be a set behind.

We're all canoeing for the next hour or so, right? You're even trying it in your front room, aren't you? Remember in Friends when Joey and Chandler had a canoe - like that, but different.

Anyway, Great Britain's next chance for a medal is coming up from 19:15, with David Florence going in the canoe slalom C1.

New Zealand's day goes from bad to worse. Not only have they been beaten by Japan, but the All Blacks must do without mega star Sonny Bill Williams, who has a partial rupture of the Achilles tendon. The Kiwis, remember, are in the same pool as Great Britain. 

Right, after that flurry of activity, where are we up to? Johanna Konta is well into the first set against Svetlana Kuznetsova. Kuznetsova has just managed the first hold of serve, leading 3-2.

David Florence's final is coming up in just under an hour, we have gold medals to be won in equestrian and weightlifting and there's a big story coming from the rugby sevens...

Andrew Willis has become another name for Britain in the semi-finals, winning his men's 200m breaststroke heats with a time of 2.08.92. 

The 25-year-old, a Commonwealth Games bronze medallist from Glasgow, pulled ahead in the second half of the race to beat Germany's Marco Koch and Kazhakhstan's Dimitriy Balandin.

Craig Benson finishes fourth in the next heat, and goes through in 15th place overall.

I spoke to GB windsurfer Nick Dempsey last week about his chances of turning silver at London 2012 into gold in Rio and he was quietly confident, saying he still had a few things to work on.

Whatever those creases were, he seems to have ironed them out. Having won two out of three races yesterday, coming second in the other, and he has just won the fourth race today. There are 12 races overall, plus a medal race, which is worth double points.

Is Juan Monaco about to do a striptease? He throws two raquets into the crowd, then removed his shirt and chucks that in. As I prepare to avert my eyes he returns to his chair and prepares to leave the court. He's nothing else to give. Phew.

A crowd is never more animated than when free things are on offer. After Monaco's grand giveaway, the Centre Court fans are on their feet once again, hands in the air, screaming as if they were on a roller coaster preparing for the big dip, as Murray pings three tennis balls at them.

The Briton remained on Centre for 10 minutes after a match, it takes a while to sate the demands of autograph hunters when you're Andy Murray.

No sooner has Andy Murray departed the scene than his fellow British number one Johanna Konta takes to court - and the world number 13 opens with a break of serve against Russian eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Florence, by the way, arrived in Rio early so that he could have as many runs down the Olympic course as possible. He was flown out by his father (presumably paid for, not carried). The final begins at begins at 19:16. Just enough to get some dinner ready....

David Florence did have to work hard for that but will certainly want a smoother run in the final.

A scrappy run from David Florence, he knows he's got better in him.

He's not at his best, but David Florence is through to the final of C1. The Scot is just over a second behind the fastest time in the semi-finals, but he's still through to compete for medals.  

Speed improving, back up there with the best...

David Florence needs to get back into his gameplan. He didn't have the best start when the worn the World Championship last year but held it together at the bottom.  

Not the best start. At gate seven, he's two seconds down on the leader. Only a semi-final, remember...

David Florence is ready. Union flags are waved, massive support. He's off...

Not familiar with your canoe-slaloming? The idea is to get down the 250m course as quickly as possible, making sure you go through the gates (18-25 of them). Six of the gates are upstream. If you miss a gate, you get a time penalty.

Competitors go once in the semi-finals, with the fastest 10 advancing to the final.
