    Dimitrov 4-1 Sela

    Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    Talking of keenos on court three... Dudi Sela's team are making more noise than a gang of football ultras.

    "Allez. Allez. Allez!" is their favourite terrace chant. Along with some noisy, hand-hurting clapping and jack-in-the-box springing to their feet from their seats.

    They've piped down a touch now the world number 90 is getting a pasting.

  2. Dimitrov with the double breakpublished at 12:00 British Summer Time 8 July 2017

    *Dimitrov 4-1 Sela

    Grigor Dimitrov has hit the ground running this morning, he goes to 0-30 on Dudi Sela's serve with a booming forehand and then gets sets up three break points with a wonderful shot on the run, sending a forehand down the line.

    A double fault hands Dimitrov the break and 'Baby Fed' - does anyone call him that anymore?, Is well on the way to the first set.

    Cirstea 1-3 Muguruza

    Garbine Muguruza is a break up and looking good, though she does have to save immediate break-back points.

    At the moment it doesn't look Sela has the power or pace to hurt Dimitrov, who is in control and can move the ball where he wants. But Sela is a fighter and he will stay out there and get the balls back, if Dimitrov loses his concentration then his opponent will be there.

  5. Dimitrov breakspublished at 11:56 British Summer Time 8 July 2017

    *Dimitrov 2-1 Sela

    Great start by Grigor Dimitrov who gets the early break on Dudi Sela.

    How far will the Bulgarian go in the draw this year?

    He reached the Australian semi-final earlier this year, the furthest he has gone in a Grand Slam since he reached the same stage at Wimbledon in 2014.

    Cirstea 1-1 Muguruza

    No dramas for either player on serve at the start of the match on Court Two. Garbine Muguruza's best Wimbledon to date is runner-up in 2015.

    Dimitrov v Sela

    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    They're a keen bunch on Court Three. Whoops and cheers are audible as I make my way across the grounds.

    What's going on? Has David Beckham turned up again? Has Grigor Dimitrov whipped off his shirt?

    Nope, it's Mexican wave time! We have at least half a dozen perfectly-executed efforts which would have done the 1986 football World Cup proud.

    Stop a match which could be a few points away from concluding, and then make them wait until after 13:00 BST to finish it off.

    Strange old game...

  11. Tsonga and Querrey go againpublished at 11:45 British Summer Time 8 July 2017

    While the top half of the men's draw get a weekend off, Sam Querrey and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga are back today to finish off their third round match.

    The pair were still battling away in the dark on Court Two last night when their match was called off for bad light, with American Querrey leading 6-5 on serve in the five set.

    They have a couple more hours to wait until they can resume battle, with the culmination of their match scheduled after the women's fourth round tie between Sorana Cirstea and Garbine Muguruza.

    Andre Agassi understands the nuances about winning and losing, that attitude and clarity of thought is only satisfied by winning. That's what Andre Agassi brings to Djokovic's game. He's starting to look like a champion again.

    Cirstea v Muguruza

    The players are warming up on Court Two, a lovely day at Wimbledon again if not quite as hot as it has been. Talk of 26C.

    Garbine Muguruza, a former French Open champ, is seeded 14. Could she add a second string to her Grand Slam bow?

    No fanfare for three-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic when he arrives on court 15 for practice... he gets a nice hug from coach Andre Agassi though.

  15. The coach who is not a coachpublished at 11:33 British Summer Time 8 July 2017

    I mentioned earlier this week that it must be difficult to coach someone like Novak Djokovic and Andre Agassi has just cleared it up.

    "It's not about coaching," he said. "Novak is a champion, he knows how to play the game. It's about pressing the right buttons to make him be the best he can be."

    Djokovic and Agassi are knocking up now on one of the courts.

    With his flowing blond locks and cool headband, Raphael Champion - son of 1991 Wimbledon quarter-finalist Thierry - has caught the eyes of many players as they wander around Aorangi Park.

    I couldn't understand a word Russian seventh seed Svetlana Kuznetsova said when she was cooing over him, apart from "Bjorn Borg". What's Russian for 'mini'?

    After Raphael's knock-up with his dad, mum Marie said her son was "almost born with a racquet in his hand".

    So is Champion going to be a Grand Slam champion? "We'll see..." she smiles.

    There is some play under way at Wimbledon, in the junior ranks.

    Briton Esther Adeshina is a break down in her match already.

    It is a year of anniversaries for the BBC and Wimbledon this year. 2017 marks 80 years of TV and 90 years of radio coverage by the BBC. It is also 50 years since the first time the championships were shown in colour.

    The Genome blog looks at some radio and TV commentators who have brought the action into our homes over many decades and some of the players who have figured heavily in the BBC Genome listings.

    There are legends everywhere you look at the All England Club - over on court 14, Tim Henman is conducting an energetic and somewhat sweaty exhibition of coaching with some lucky kids, with Mark Ronson tunes blasting out of some speakers.

    It is harder than you might think to play tennis with loud music in the background, because you can't hear the ball come off your opponent's strings - I know this because I once played in an exhibition match to mark the opening of some new park courts in Penmaenmawr, with MC Hammer classic 'U can't touch this' on loop at top volume. It was every bit as glamorous as it sounds.
