    Kristyna Pliskova hit 31 aces - which we believe is a record for a women's match - but ended up losing to Monica Puig in an epic second-round match on court eight.

    After a 62-minute final set, Puerto Rican Puig fought back to beat the Czech 4-6 7-6 (8-6) 9-7.

    Quentin Halys is not going away quietly.

    He is attacking Novak Djokovic and goes 30-0 up. The Serbian passes the Frenchman to pull a point back but Halys responds with an ace and a fist pump.

    That is brilliant from the world number one though, a delicate drop shot, but Halys wins the game with another big serve that Djokovic can't get back.
