    Querrey 7-5 4-6 4-6 2-3 Monfils*

    Sam Querrey very rarely looks flustered, but he can't hide his disappointment at a straightforward forehand from mid-court rattling into the net tape and dropping on his side.

    The American recovers with a string of meaty serves that almost take Gael Monfils' racquet with them into the hoardings behind.

    I'm going there. It's time for the 'sh' word. Another shock is on the cards!

    Kiki Bertens doesn't show any sign of nerves in serving the set out against Venus Williams and seals the set with an ace.

    A little clench of the fist from the Dutch player.

    *Querrey 7-5 4-6 4-6 1-3 Monfils

    Wonder how many bananas Sam Querrey goes through during a match? He sees off another during the change of end, while Gael Monfils opts for a towel - folded or scrunched?

    The Frenchman almost engineers and outrageous make after legging it from one side of the court to the other, but it's just wide of the chalk.

    He and Querrey have a little chuckle about it, before Monfils rattles to another hold.

    V. Williams 2-5 Bertens*

    Venus Williams gets through a service game. Just. Three set points come Kiki Bertens way but Venus comes through. Bertens will have the chance to clinch the set on her own serve in a moment.

    Querrey 7-5 4-6 4-6 1-2 Monfils*

    Sam Querrey opts for power in a bid to shake Gael Monfils off, but the Frenchman's hanging around annoying the American like on of those pesky flying ants that reared their head the other day at Wimbledon.

    A double fault doesn't help the 11th seed's cause, but he makes amends with a kicking ace to hold.

    The momentum has completely changed, it is all on Monfils right now. It is like he can walk on water, everything he touches is gold.

    A love hold for Gael Monfils, and he's absolutely flying right now. Must know France have kicked off...

    Querrey 7-5 4-6 4-6 0-1 Monfils*

    Sam Querrey nearly cleans out a line judge with a smash to save the first break point.

    He opts for the net on the second, too. But Gael Monfils match him stroke for stroke and then wraps his racquet around a backhand, dipping low to whip it down the line.

    The Frenchman breaks, and fist pumps in delight.

    James: Gael Monfils is on fire all of a sudden! Whatever the medical guy did, it's working wonders!

    Oh, stop it.

    Gael Monfils is soaring now, digging out a superb backhand winner down the line.

    Two break points.

  12. Woes for the womenpublished at 14:55 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    It really is not a good year for the seeds, in fact it is officially the worst for the women's.

    Until this year, at every Wimbledon in the Open era at least four of the top 10 seeds made the fourth round.

    However, with Madison Keys losing today, there are only three of the top 10 seeds left - Venus Williams, Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova.

    Kiki Bertens holds and is now a game away from the first set against Venus Williams, the ninth seed.

    *Querrey 7-5 4-6 4-6 Monfils

    Right then, Gael Monfils. Whatcha got?

    The Wimbledon crowd are gathering on Monfils Mountain to watch this one (sorry, Henman Hill...) and those lucky enough to be inside Centre Court are starting to bubble in excitement - either that or the heat is getting to them.

    Monfils reaches into his serving armoury and pulls out a succession of thunderbolts, and when Sam Querrey is able to engage the Frenchman he outplays him in the rally.

    Monfils closes out with an ace to take a 2-1 lead.

    V. Williams 1-4 Bertens*

    Venus Williams has blown away many a player with her powerful serve over the years at Wimbledon but she is struggling with the shot here. Kiki Bertens breaks again with more good returning, helped by some overhit shots from Venus.

    No dramas. Just big-bouncing pile-drivers. He holds.

    Gael Monfils is cooking now.

    After going a set down and stopping for a medical timeout after a nasty slip, he's now level and a break up.

    He consolidates with some more exhibition tennis to hold.

    Furious forehand into the top corner to save one break point from Sam Querrey.

    But that is a magnificent passing winner from Gael Monfils on the next - how did the Frenchman reach that? The 31-year-old went complete Stretch Armstrong to extend an arm well wide of the tramlines and hammer a shot beyond the American.

    He breaks.

    Pressure on Sam Querrey...

    Gael Monfils creeps to 0-30, but has his a word with himself (in French) after miscuing a return. American Querrey undercooks a backhand and it flops into the net.

    Two break points.

  20. Williams breaks backpublished at 14:45 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    *V. Williams 1-3 Bertens

    Venus Williams doesn't make the same mistake she made a few moments ago. On an easy put-away at the net, she hammers a forehand into the big green backboard behind her opponent, causing an almighty thud.

    That helps the American keep the pressure on Bertens and eventually she manages to get one of those service breaks back.
