  1. Until next timepublished at 20:31 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    So after a day that saw Wimbledon greats Roger Federer and Serena Williams ease seamlessly into the next round, and that witnessed seeds continuing to tumble, it's time for us to sign off.

    Exits for Venus Williams and Madison Keys mean just two of the top 10 players in the women's draw remain in the championships.

    Fourth seed Alexander Zverev scraped through in the men's draw, while there were also wins for eighth seed Kevin Anderson and Gael Monfils.

    British number one Kyle Edmund faces Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon in the third round on Centre Court on Saturday, in what is the biggest match of the championships so far.

    Edmund has achieved another milestone by reaching the last 32 at Wimbledon for the first time and is carrying British hopes in the singles.

    Coach Fredrik Rosengren said: "He is in unbelievably good shape mentally. We talk a lot about that, to enjoy it.

    "Sometimes we all forget the joy of playing. This is so important. I said to Kyle: 'I have the best profession in the world, I'm happy every day to get out of bed and work with you'."

  5. Clijsters' World Cup historypublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Kim Clijsters is a four-time Grand Slam champion and her dad Lei Clijsters (who died aged 52 in 2009) was a centre-back who played for Belgium in the 1986 and 1990 World Cups.

    "I was three when my dad was at Mexico ’86 and seven when they were played at Italia ‘90. They reached the semis in Mexico. I remember I had photos and the atmosphere and the vibe in Belgium – in my home town was incredible," said Kim.

    "When he had injuries I could work out with him with a stopwatch – I went with him to the forest and timed him running up a hill. It created a bond between us. When he became a coach I would go to games and scout players. I was his buddy - ride in the car and watch videos of the games.

    "Vincent Kompany wrote the nicest letter when my father passed away. He’s incredible. Those kind of things tells you a lot about people.

    "I like the coach Roberto Martinez. And I think assistant Thierry Henry doesn’t get enough credit. That to me is surprising."

    Belgium currently lead Brazil 2-0 in their World Cup quarter-final, which you can watch on BBC One or follow here.

    Serena Williams Best Shots

    As the oldest woman left in the draw, after her 38-year-old sister Venus was knocked out on Friday, Serena Williams is still leaving the younger players behind.

    And despite her seeding of 25, and her world ranking of 181, the 36-year-old is looking every bit the player to beat.

    "It doesn't really matter who I am playing," she said. "Every opponent is playing their 'A' game as we are seeing in this tournament with the top players going out. Technically I'm not a top player but I have the wins of one."

    "It is tough to play aggressively on grass for me but I did it well so I am proud.

    "I will have a little celebration, rest a little, but I can celebrate a little because I am in the second week of Wimbledon."

    Former British number one on BBC TV

    Novak will be disappointed. But for a few serves at the end Raonic wasn't great.

    The sign of a good player is when you can win a set like that when you haven't played particularly well.

  15. 'We don't care what you have to say'published at 19:49 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Marion Bartoli has sparked a feud with 15th seed Nick Kyrgios after she told BBC Radio 5 live's 6 love 6 , externalshe does not believe the Australian and Frenchman Gael Monfils have the right work ethic to win a Grand Slam.

    "It's pathetic. It seems like they can't grow up," she said.

    Kyrgios has today responded on Instagram, external:

    "Yesterday Marion Bartoli had to say some nice things about Gael Monfils and myself. They’re ‘pathetic,’ ‘children,’ they ‘can’t become men,’ ‘wasting their life’ - Who are you to judge the way we go about things? Who are you to tell us how to do things, when u have no idea what we’ve been through?

    "Stop assuming you know what’s best for others when you think you’ve had a little success. We get it, we know you have to remain relevant, but I’ll give you a heads up, we don’t care what you have to say."

    Hmmmm. That post would suggest otherwise, Nick.
