Cornet is rewarded for some deeper groundstrokes and heavy returns to rustle up two breaks points. She only needs the first as she hammers home a backhand winner for the first break of the match.
First set blood drawn by Marin Cilic, conqueror of sixth seed Tomas Berdych last time out, on court 18. The Croatian 26th seed is up on Jeremy Chardy.
The winner of that one is seeded to meet Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals.
A lovely volley from Cornet seals a service hold to 30 and we're back level.
Steph in London, via text: "Is there anyone more interesting and knowledgeable than Martina Navratilova at tennis commentary? Making a long Monday at work enjoyable. Go Martina."
No rust in the Ana Ivanovic service action after the rain delay. The Serb takes the game to love to level up her match against Petra Kvitova at one set all.
One set-winner takes all tennis to decide who meets unseeded Kazakh Yaroslav Shvedova in the fourth round
Bouchard in control on her serve, the Canadian winning 79% of the points when she gets her first serve in. She wins the game to 15 to get her nose back in front in this set.
"Sun is shining and the weather is sweet yeah, makes you want to move them dancing feet," sang Bob Marley.
Not sure that was about tennis in south-west London, but the good news is that we are back in play. And Ana Ivanovic is about to serve to level up her match against Sabine Lisicki over on Court One.

More of British number two Laura Robson's responses during her Twitter Q&A on the BBC Tennis account, external earlier today:
Adam Gatto: Who are you tipping to win the men's and women's singles?
Laura Robson: Maria. The men's is too tough to call, but I want Andy to defend his title.
Sagi: What is your ultimate goal as a tennis player?
Laura Robson: To win Wimbledon and a singles Olympic medal...preferably gold!
Tom: Hi, Laura. What's your favourite "outside" court? (i.e. not centre or no.1 or no.2)
Laura Robson: 18 - My brother is one of the court coverers and this is his last year so it's the end of an era. He has to get a proper job!
Bouchard has the momentum, but she can't convert her second break point of the match as Cornet recovers to hold.
Cornet continues to struggle to get depth on her shots, allowing Bouchard to recover from 15-30 down to hold.

"Neither player played their best tennis in the pressure that was the tie-break but the player that played the bravest tennis won it."
A screech of delight for Eugenie Bouchard as she watches a Alize Cornet backhand end up in the net on set point. Cornet throws her racquet to the ground in frustration. Solid from Bouchard in the breaker, she made fewer mistakes and was more consistent.
This is not the ideal time for Cornet's level to drop, the Frenchwoman making two errors to hand a mini-break to Bouchard and trail 4-2 at the changeover.

"There has hardly even been a nervous point or shot. They are just playing the match."
M A Bennett:, external First opportunity to see #Bouchard today. Wow. Really, REALLY impressed. Future #Wimbledon champion & world No1 for sure.
Freddie Clamp:, external Alize Cornet switching from 'allez' to 'come on' - an attempt at mental games?
What did I tell you? We're into a tie-break on Centre Court as Bouchard holds to 15. This could go either way.
Here comes the sun, fighting through the clouds. The voice of Wimbledon has spotted it too and informs us that play on the outside courts will be back under way in approximately 15 minutes.
Both players are hitting the ball very well, which is making it difficult for the other to make any impact on the serve. Cornet holds and Bouchard must once again serve to stay in the set.
