    Deuce.

    Match point.

    Nadal 6-3 6-3 5-2 Sela*

    Lengthy rally, until it's interrupted by Rafael Nadal making a challenge, and he's right... that's narrowly long from Dudi Sela, who shrugs his shoulders and chuckles.

    Sela flicks a racquet at a wide ball and pushes it into the net, before Nadal finds the net on his own side - 15-30.

    *Nadal 6-3 6-3 4-2 Sela

    Sela survives as Nadal drags his winding backhand into the tramlines, and follows up with another miscued groundstroke from deep.

    The Spaniard tries to pick out the narrowest of gaps with a whipping forehand, looking for the blind side, but it drops into the tramlines.

    Sela holds.

    Nope, that isn’t Justin Bieber in the middle of a hysterical scrum - it is another young Canadian.

    Genie Bouchard might ‘only’ be the world number 188 but she’s big news as far as the fans are concerned.

    The walkway leading from court 14 to the locker room, along Centre Court and past the Media Centre, was packed solid as people tried to get pictures with her.

    Security staff were desperately trying to shift fans out of the way, Bouchard not helping them by happily posing for as many selfies as she could.

  11. Boulter brimming with confidencepublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    Up next on court 14 is Britain's Katie Boulter, who will face Paraguayan world number 88 Veronica Cepede Royg.

    The 20-year-old from Leicester arrived in SW19 fresh from some encouraging performances on grass including a shock win over former US Open champion Sam Stosur at Nottingham last month.

    "That did a lot for my confidence, I played a lot of people inside the top 100 and got one of my best career wins," said Boulter, currently ranked 122.

    "I've got to put my game out there and that's what I'm focusing on."

    It's on serve at the minute.

    Nadal 6-3 6-3 4-1 Sela*

    Dudi Sela throws his arms in the air, several break points wasted, and you get the feeling the 33-year-old knows his chance has gone begging.

    He takes Rafael Nadal to deuce again, but a formidable Nadal half-volley almost rips the racquet from Sela's grasp.

    The Spaniard saunters in to slice a volleyed winner and hold.

    Sela has got a good all-round game. He can hit the ball well, not afraid to come in and slice. Just the consistency that is lacking. And maybe a little bit of power.

  15. Postpublished at 16:26 British Summer Time 3 July 2018

    *Nadal 6-3 6-3 3-1 Sela

    Now it's the Spaniard working the net, volleying a winner from his midriff to take the advantage, but he meets a leaping Dudi Sela with his next stroke - back to deuce.

    Nadal opts for the net again, but slaps a hanging Sela backhand into the ropes.

    Break point Sela.

    A framer from the world number 127, just when he didn't need it, and it sails long.

    The Israeli sprints in to meet a short ball, but then fires it into the tape - Nadal saves both break points.

    Hang on...

    Dudi Sela with the deftest hands of the match so far to clip a drop shot from an acute angle beyond Rafael Nadal.

    Two break back points.
