  1. Rodina breakspublished at 12:10 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Keys 5-6 Rodina*

    Well, well.

    Evgeniya Rodina has massively upped her game. She breaks the Madison Keys serve again and now leads 6-5 in the first set. That's four games in a row for the Russian.

    She'll serve for the set next.

    *Keys 5-5 Rodina

    The winner of this match will play Serena Williams in the next round if the American wins on Centre later today.

    The ultimate test.

    Keys was 5-2 up earlier in this opening set (see below) but is now in trouble. Rodina has levelled at 5-5 and now has 0-30 on the American's serve.

    This for Madison is an exercise in concentration.

    Rodina has done quite well., returned deep, Madison hasn't got here feet out the way, looks sharp at some points but not others. But Rodina is not to be underestimated.

    Keys 5-4 Rodina*

    Madison Keys came out like a train in this one but has just blinked serving for the set and has gifted the break back to her opponent Evgeniya Rodina.

    Both players are trying to deal with the heat. Rodina has an ice towel around her neck already.

  5. Quick start from Andersonpublished at 11:59 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Kohlschreiber 0-3 Anderson

    South African eighth seed Kevin Anderson is firing on all cylinders against Philipp Kohlschreiber. He is a break up and held both service games against the German with relative ease so far on court two.

    Michael Scarn: I remember going to my room to watch the 2008 final in a huff, because I loved Federer and thought his dominance on grass was finally at an end. 10 years later, he's still 1st seed (2nd in the world), and Nadal is 2nd (1st in the world). Incredible.

    It's absolutely scorching at Wimbledon today. The sort of temperatures - well into the early 30s apparently - that could crack pavements.

    Which means those in the Queue are being sensible...

    So many seeds have fallen in the women's singles. There is an opportunity for quite a few players, particularly in the bottom half of the draw. Someone like Madison Keys, for example, has a great opportunity in this tournament. I think we may see some first-time quarter-finals this year.

  9. Keys starts wellpublished at 11:52 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Keys 4-1 Rodina*

    Back to the present and Madison Keys has made an excellent start over on court three.

    The American 10th seed is 4-1 up against Russian qualifier Evgeniya Rodina.

    I still maintain that the Federer backhand winner at Championship point down in the fourth-set tie-break is the greatest shot ever in tennis.

    It's at about 30 seconds in the video below if you want to reminisce.

    Nadal v Federer's epic in 2008 is one of those events that you always remember where you were.

    I was sat in Mum's living room, gripped by the pictures on TV.

    What are your memories of that day? How did you deal with the tension? Where were you watching?

  12. Federer v Nadal 2008 - the inside storypublished at 11:42 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    It's hard to believe 10 years have past since Nadal beat Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon final.

    That five-set marathon had absolutely everything and is rightly described as the "greatest match ever played".

    Before this year's tournament we spoke to four people who witnessed an extraordinary occasion - seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe, who commentated on the match for NBC, umpire Pascal Maria, long-time Wimbledon locker-room attendant Doug Dickson, and Jonathan Overend- the BBC's tennis correspondent from 2003 to 2013.

    If you didn't read the piece before the tournament then do so now. I'm biased but it's great.

    The queens and king are on show today in the guise of Serena and Venus Williams and Roger Federer.

    Where they go, the fans flock.

    The temperature could hit north of 30C inside the venue - just wait until the Wimbledon champions arrive on court.

    The defeat for Johanna Konta yesterday is in huge contrast to her run here last year.

    She flew the British flag in 2017 after Andy Murray's early exit, progressing all the way to the semi-final with millions watching her enthralling encounter with Simona Halep in the quarter-final.

    But since then the Briton has struggled and her defeat to Dominika Cibulkova yesterday means she will slip outside of the world's top 40.

    We've spoken to former Grand Slam champions, former British number ones and coaches to assess what has gone wrong for Jo Ko.

    Late last night in the gloom defending champion Garbine Muguruza became the latest casualty in an unpredictable women's singles draw.

    The third seeded Spaniard lost in three sets to Alison van Uytvanck and that means only two of the top eight women's seeds remain in the draw.

    Yesterday was a mixed day for British hopes.

    Kyle Edmund won to progress to the third round at SW19 for the first time but defeats for Johanna Konta and Katie Boulter mean the Yorkshireman is GB's last remaining singles hope.

    Edmund's win set up a bumper day of sport on Saturday with the 23-year-old progressing to play three-time champ Novak Djokovic, the same day as an important football match is going on.

    It's a busy day for the Williams household today.

    Serena's sister Venus, the ninth seed, plays on Court One today following the completion of fourth seed Alexander Zverev's match which was suspended last night.

    The German is currently two sets to one behind against American Taylor Fritz.

    Elsewhere, Karolina Pliskova, the second highest women's seed left in the draw down at number seven, is in action, as is 10th seed Madison Keys.

    Former finalist Milos Raonic, eighth seed Kevin Anderson and ninth seed John Isner are among the other men playing today.
