  1. 'I hit myself and had to ice it!'

    Cibulkova 5-7 4-6 Ostapenko

    Jelena Ostapenko speaking to BBC Sport: "It was a very tough match but I was just trying to enjoy it.

    "I am really happy with the way I played. Dominika played well but I fought until the end and was very confident. I am fighting and it helps me gain more confidence with it.

    "I really enjoy being here."

    On why she had ice on her leg: "I hit myself with my hand when I lost a point. It was really strong and then I needed to ice it!"

    Dominika Cibulkova just couldn't get into any rhythm.

  3. Kerber into semi-final

    Kasatkina 3-6 5-7 Kerber

    Both players embrace at the net. They both got nervy but eventually German Angelique Kerber comes through against 21-year-old Daria Kasatkina.

    Meanwhile on Court One...

  8. Kasatkina 3-6 5-6 Kerber*

    What a point! The crowd are on their feet. Both players are nearly off theirs, bent double on the court.

    She screams in celebration.

    Match point number six.

  9. Five match points saved

    Kasatkina 3-6 5-6 Kerber*

    Make that five match points saved. Daria Kasatkina is not going to stop with these crazy drops and slices. Another leaves Kerber frustrated.

    She whacks the net in anger.

    Deuce again.

  10. Three match points saved

    Kasatkina 3-6 5-6 Kerber*

    That's just daft.

    From behind the baseline, match point down, Daria Kasatkina pulls the drop shout out from nowhere. Kerber did not see that one coming.

    Deuce again. Three match points saved.

  11. Another match point saved

    Kasatkina 3-6 5-6 Kerber*

    Another match point comes and goes for Kerber.

    But the serve comes to her rescue to bring up another.

    "Come on," the German shouts.

  12. Match point saved

    Kasatkina 3-6 5-6 Kerber*

    Winner from Kasatkina. 15-15.

  15. Kerber breaks

    Kasatkina 3-6 5-6 Kerber*

    Brilliant from Kerber. She's quite rightly regarded as one of the best movers in the game and she's that by sprinting to pick up another Kasatkina drop shot and flicks it away for a winner.

    Yet another break. Yet another chance for Kerber to close out this match coming up...

  17. *Kasatkina 3-6 5-5 Kerber

    Angelique Kerber is starting to look worried. She glances up at her box after going long for 30-30. Both players are so tight on Centre.

    Break point...

    *Kasatkina 3-6 5-5 Kerber

    Unbelievable. Kerber just can't close it out! Kasatkina breaks for the second time in the last two of the German's service games.
