    But tonight I'll give the last word to one of you guys as you've been great company. Thanks for all the chat and for staying up.

    Erin, the floor is yours...

    We will be back tomorrow for all the British action. Take a look at the schedule, we envisage it being around 20:00 BST. 

    Night all. Kyle Edmund, you hero.

    Tomorrow both Andy Murray and Dan Evans will take to the court. Evans has to grapple with Stan Wawrinka, Murray will be expected to beat Paolo Lorenzi, the world number 40.

    Great Britain can't get four players into the last-16 can it? 

    I know we are all glowing from the Team GB Olympic glory but come on. Are we just being greedy now?

    So what have we seen in all today?

    Johanna Konta breezed to a third round win against Belinda Bencic, setting up a meeting with Anastasija Sevastova courtesy of a 6-2 6-1 win.

    There were also wins for Caroline Wozniacki, Roberta Vinci, Petra Kvitova and a superb comeback from 5-1 down in a deciding set for Madison Keys. All of these women make the last-16 stage.

    In men's action, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was too good for Kevin Anderson, Jack Sock upset Marin Cilic and Novak Djokovic won through courtesy of another opponent being unable to finish a match, Mikhail Youzhny the unlucky man.

    As we have said, it will be Djokovic v Kyle Edmund in the last-16.

    Kyle Edmund reacts to his win on court: "It's been a great tournament so far. I've really enjoyed playing here. It may not have been the result you guys wanted but I want to say thank for the support.

    "I think playing John, your chances don't come very often. You have to capitalise when they come. You see how many aces he hits. You just have to get a racquet on the ball and hustle really. I played the big points well. I knew it would come down to one or two points. I'm just very pleased."

    On meeting Novak Djokovic next: "It's going to be a tough match playing the world number one. He's there, rightfully so. He's been very consistent this year at a high level. It's always nice playing someone again. Playing Isner at the French helped me tonight so perhaps the fact I played Novak in march will help me."

    The tactics were perfect. He's young, but that was a veteran performance out there from Kyle Edmund. I tip the cap.

    The emotion on Kyle Edmund's face was wonderful to see there. He screamed and looked aggressive while doing so. It was not a celebration of shock or relief, more of belief and conviction.

    Edmund 6-4 3-6 6-2 7-6 (7-5) Isner

    John Isner just will not go down, he serves and reduces it to 6-5. I think everyone is trembling. It's Kyle Edmund now serving, one match point.

    The ball is returned, on to his trusty forehand... WINNER.

    What a cracking contest, exhilarating finish, a super 162 minutes.

    Edmund 6-4 3-6 6-2 6-6 Isner

    We go past two hours and 40 minutes, still there is drama as John Isner challenges a call but the Kyle Edmund ball is in, by perhaps half a centimetre. My word, how close can you get.

    That's match point, 6-3. Isner responds and hits a winner.

  14. Tie break: 5-3 Edmundpublished at 01:28 British Summer Time 3 September 2016

    Edmund 6-4 3-6 6-2 6-6 Isner

    A wide serve from John Isner is brilliantly placed and 119mph but Kyle Edmund throws himself at it and gets it back, much to the American's shock. Isner can only volley into the net.

    Isner attempts a lob in desperation to get back on terms but it's long. Edmund raises a hand.

  15. Tie break: 3-3published at 01:26 British Summer Time 3 September 2016

    Edmund 6-4 3-6 6-2 6-6 Isner

    A forehand return from John Isner is long but again the serve digs him out. What a time to find a 137mph boomer. They change ends.

    A big ace from John Isner halves the deficit and he's back on level terms, can't split them in this set as Edmund finds the net.

  17. 2-0 Edmundpublished at 01:24 British Summer Time 3 September 2016

    Edmund 6-4 3-6 6-2 6-6 Isner

    A corking down the line effort gives Kyle Edmund the early lead. Over to the John Isner serve, Are you feeling it folks? A rally breaks out, is Isner's back hand out? No. They go on, Isner with another backhand...net. Was that ball too close to his body? He looked cramped up.

    Edmund 6-4 3-6 6-2 6-6 Isner

    Some big serves and a sweet forehand from John Isner take him to 40-0. Hard to deal with when he gets the groove going but it's just not happened when he's not had the ball in his hand.

    His 126mph serve to conclude this game is laced with joy. That's how you whack it folks. It's a tie break.
