Do you only ever run into javelin throwers, John?

The big question in tennis circles is - who (if anyone) is going to stop Novak Djokovic complete a first 'Golden Slam' in the men's game? Not Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, it seems.

Serbia's Djokovic, who has already claimed the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon titles this year, wins the first set of his third-round match in Tokyo.

What is the 'Golden Slam', you ask? Winning all four Grand Slams, plus the Olympics, in one calendar year. Germany's Steffi Graf is the only player to have achieved this, completing the feat in 1988.

Meanwhile, Germany's Alexander Zverev has beaten Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-4 7-6 (7-5) and awaits the winner of Liam Broady and Jeremy Chardy in the quarter-finals.

We're getting a lot of you saying you have seen Sally Gunnell.

We have a very worthy champion.

Given the way he lost the Tour de France last year and crashed out of the race this year, I think many people will be pleased to see him come out on top.

He's a very well liked character - very respectful of all other riders, win or lose and you can just see people are pleased for him.

A really quiet and really nice guy.

Uh oh. Not the start Liam Broady wanted to make in the deciding set of his third-round match in the men's singles.

France's Jeremy Chardy breaks the Brit's serve and draws first blood in the third set.

Chardy backs that up with a hold-to-love and is halfway to victory.

'Anything can happen for Team GB's gymnasts'published at 09:05 British Summer Time 28 July 2021

Anything can happen in gymnastics as we've seen over the past few days - difficulty wise the Team GB boys are a bit behind that of the Russians and the Chinese. But if they hit on their best day anything can happen. Joe Fraser's looking very strong, he's going out there with the heart of a lion and hitting performances I've never seen him do, probably his best ever gymnastics.

And we call James Hall the postman because he always delivers!

We've seen in the team finals the miniscule margins so it will be really exciting to watch it all unfold today. This will be their third day competing - I know myself you go out there with a bit more confidence and you have a feel for the apparatus, the atmosphere and what to expect.

There might be more medals to come, too.

Charlotte Dujardin, a two-time Olympic champion, goes in the individual dressage from 09:30.

There's an outside hope of a medal in the men's all-around gymnastics, too. That start at 11:15.

And a silver...

Just waking up? Lie-in, is it?

GB have won another gold, you know...

Primoz Roglic, the former ski jumper from Slovenia, has set the fastest time. You might remember Roglic was holding the yellow jersey until the penultimate stage of the 2020 Tour de France. He has set a time almost a minute better than the rest of the field.

Nell: I once saw Sally Gunnell running for a train and was bitterly disappointed when she didn't jump over the ticket barrier.

The final round of group games in the men's football competition are about to get underway.

There are eight matches in all today. First up is Group D, with leaders Brazil taking on Saudi Arabia and Ivory Coast playing Germany.

Brazil and Ivory Coast both have four points, Germany have three, with Saudi Arabia yet to pick up a point so far.

Both games kick-off at 09:00 BST

We're getting a lot of positive reaction to the breakfast turnover. I bet you'll see them in Gregg's next week.

Ah, that old tennis adage: it isn't a break until you've held serve in the next game.

It looks set to bite Liam Broady on the backside, but the British left-hander digs deep to hold and win a second set which lasted almost an hour.

Broady, ranked 143rd in the world, saved three break points as Chardy threatened to level, eventually converting his second set point to take the third-round match into a decider.

With the heat and humidity in Tokyo still high, the players take advantage of the 10-minute extreme weather policy and head inside. Presumably for a cold shower.

Geraint Thomas has just been caught by Australia's Rohan Dennis, who went off 90 seconds behind him.

If you're new to time-trialling, that's a bit like being asked to follow-on in Test cricket.

A difficult morning for Team GB's archers as China's Jiaxin Wu knocked out both of the Brits in the women's event. Naomi Folkard fell to defeat in the round of 32 and Sarah Bettles, who beat Colombia's Valentina Acosta Giraldo to go one step further, was knocked out in the last-16.

In the men's event Patrick Huston was eliminated in the round of 32.
