Not long now until Andy Murray takes to Centre Court.

Are we all ready? He's on TV now talking about him mum's cooking. A brave man!

Apparently the Skupski brothers initially only booked digs for a week down in SW19.

That's how confident Ken and his younger sibling Neal were of going far in the doubles.

The Scousers have reached their first Grand Slam quarter-final and are now more than holding their own against fourth seeds Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo.

But it could have been better.

They missed two break points at 5-5, then three set points in a 20-minute tie-breaker before Kubot and Melo sneaked over the line in an hour-long opening set.

Neal whacks his strings with the palm of his hand. That sums up what everyone in the home crowd is thinking.

Former Wimbledon champion Virginia Wade on Johanna Konta's victory, speaking on BBC One: "She talks such a good talk. You hear people who talk the talk and don't believe - but she believes. It was compelling stuff. It was a very close match.

"The year I did well was the year it was Sue Barker, Chris Evert who was taking most of the pressure. Now we all think Jo has got such a good chance to win. You have to embrace and celebrate for a bit, embrace the exhilaration,but then you have to get right back down to work. I would have someone else read the newspapers for you and not set eyes on them."

Good trivia from Sue: Billie Jean King used to cut out articles about Martina Navratilova, whether they were good or bad, from the paper to stop her reading them!

The BBC's main man at Wimbledon, executive editor Ron Chakraborty, says more than seven million people tuned in to watch Johanna Konta beat Simona Halep on BBC One last night - which also meant moving the Six o'clock news. That doesn't happen very often! There was almost one million following the live stream of the match on the BBC Sport website as well as people around the country headed home from work.

A fantastic rally ends with the Skupski brothers winning the point with a disguised forearm shot.

The pair are in a first-set tie-break at the moment with Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. You can watch here.

Some very excited kids arrived at the fence near Andy Murray's practice court during his practice session this morning... "Andy?!? Andy Murray! I'll never get this close to him again," shouted one lad.

His mate was less impressed. "Is that Andre Agassi hitting with him?"

No, it's Jamie Delgado - Andy Murray's coach. Still, easy mistake to make.

After overcoming the unpredictable Alexander Bublik, Dustin Brown, Fabio Fognini and Benoit Paire on his way to the quarter-finals, Andy Murray faces a much clearer task against Sam Querrey and his 137 mph serve.

Murray said of Querrey: "He obviously likes the conditions here. He played really well last year.

"I maybe played one or two service games in the first set [against Paire] that weren't the best. Against Querrey, you can't really afford that. He's not an easy guy to break.

"When he's standing up on the baseline, hitting forehands, dictating, he's a very dangerous player."

Murray has won seven of their eight previous matches for the loss of just two sets.

Who is Sam Querrey - the man in front of Andy Murray today?

The 29-year-old was born in San Francisco and made his Grand Slam debut in 2006 at the US Open, before playing in his first Wimbledon the following year.

He's got a bloomin' massive serve on him - he's landed 99 aces so far this tournament - and he overpowered Novak Djokovic last year, sending the defending champion out in the third round.

But never mind all that tennis fodder. What you really need to know is that Querrey was once a contestant on the TV show Millionaire Matchmaker. Querrey picked a woman called Kylie and the date appeared to go well but he said later: "At the end of the episode it said we're still together, but actually she never talked to me once after the show was shot."

Also, he owns a Blue French Bulldog called Lou.

It takes a brave person to wear a suit like this...

Here's Caine Mundy and his birthday suit. The Jersey lad is down at Wimbledon for the first time today - and he's celebrating his 27th. He's gone big!

Unsurprisingly his beach-inspired threads are creating waves around the Wimbledon grounds.

"I've had about a dozen people asking for photos already," he laughs. "And I've only been here an hour!"

Dad Paul, dressed much more conservatively, didn't fancy it. "I haven't got the guts to wear that!" he adds.

Damien Dumosois took it up on himself to keep the players energised in the doubles, handing out bananas to the Skupski brothers and their opponents.

Adam Plumpton: Last time I went to Scarborough, Andy Murray lost in a grand slam quarter final. I'm going to Scarborough today...

We know who to blame if it all goes wrong for Muzza

Only a brief 30-minute practice session for Andy Murray this morning - well, it is a bit chilly at Wimbledon today, plus he was late and also he is first on Centre Court at 13:00 BST.

His t-shirt may have read 'bangers and smash' but it was more about serving for Murray in his warm-up - he fired down more than 100 in quick succession before I lost count.

He might have had sausages for breakfast though, so that slogan might be half right.

Featuring reigning Britons and, erm, just plain rain.

It seems Andy Murray was running a bit late this morning - he was booked on practice court 15 from 10 but there was no sign of him until nearly 10.30... the assembled media, his hitting partner and his coaches Ivan Lendl and Jamie Delgado, were all left waiting patiently.

Ivan used the time to show Jamie some clips on his phone - as you do with your mates when you have got a few minutes to kill. No idea what the video was, sadly - rare footage of Lendl dabbing, perhaps?

Defending mixed doubles champions Heather Watson and Henri Kontinen are in action in their third round match against Ivan Dodig and Sania Mirza.

The Brit-Fin pair are fourth in the running order on court two.

Elsewhere, the British Skupski brothers - Ken and Neal - are under way in their men's doubles quarter-final against Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo.

And look out for fellow Briton Katie Swan on court nine. She's into the third round of the girls' tournament and is playing Whitney Osuigwe from the USA.

After Tuesday's torrent of rain, the weather is looking much better today at Wimbledon. Early rain has cleared and the cloud will follow suit through the morning so that by the start of play and into the afternoon there’ll be lengthy sunny spells developing. It’ll feel warmer than yesterday too with a maximum temperature getting up to around 22 degrees.

As for Thursday’s weather, it’s looking promising once again. Sunny start with some cloud bubbling up through the afternoon and feeling warm in the sunshine and light winds with a high of 24 degrees.

Here's what's on offer on the show courts today. It's a goodun...

Centre Court (from 13:00 BST)

• Andy Murray v Sam Querrey
• Milos Raonic v Roger Federer

Court One (from 13:00 BST)

• Gilles Muller v Marin Cilic
• Tomas Berdych v Novak Djokovic

It is all about the men's quarter-finals today, but let's just spend a moment reflecting on one of the greatest days - and one of the greatest matches - of Wimbledon 2017 so far.

Over seven million people tuned into BBC One to watch Johanna Konta rise to the occasion and sneak past battling second seed Simona Halep into the last four.

The 26-year-old is the first British women's Wimbledon semi-finalist since 1978, and will now face five-time champion Venus Williams on Thursday.

In case you missed any of the drama, you can catch up below.

Konta's Kop, Konta's Knoll, Johannas-berg, Johanna Montagne.

These are just some of the suggestions for the renaming of the famous piece of grass outside Centre Court, in honour of Britain's newest tennis heroine.

We'll save the naming ceremony for the women's semi-final.

For today, we're going to go back to its second moniker because the main man is in action.

Give us a wave, Murray Mound!
