    Pressure on Del Potro. 30-30.

    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    For 'Fed Head' Andrea Tock of Guatemala her first experience of watching Roger Federer could have gone better.

    "Most inside Court One were Federer fans - the atmosphere was great," she said.

    "I never thought he would lose. It was an even match though.

    "I think he can still win another Slam. Maybe the US Open."

  3. Over on Court One, Milos Raonic and John Isner's quarter-final has just got under way.

    You can watch it here.

    The winner will face Kevin Anderson in the semi-finals.

  4. Nadal 7-5 6-5 Del Potro*

    Nadal is certainly back after that blip on his serve a few moments ago. The ball zips past Del Potro and suddenly this set has been turned on its head. Del Potro now must hold or he's two sets behind.

  5. 'Anderson deserves victory over Federer'

    Andrew Castle
    BBC Sport tennis commentator

    Concentration is hard when you are 36 and it was Roger who wavered.

    Anderson is 32, isn't a big superstar, but he has good basic skills and a fantastic work ethic. While this a huge shock Kevin won it, and he deserves it because he played so well. He's number eight in the world for a reason.

    When you have someone 6ft 8in serving at you sometimes there's nothing you can do even if you are a magician like Federer.

    He had some chances in the fourth set but couldn't take them.

    Lauren: A repeat of 2008’s Nadal-Federer final would have been brilliant, but Kevin Anderson deserves that win. What an incredible comeback

    Howard: Wow.. Anderson made us South Africans smile and soo proud of him for my country and Africa as whole

  7. 'Beating Roger is special'

    Federer 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 4-6 11-13 Anderson

    More from Kevin Anderson: "That's what you work so hard for, everything that goes into it, it was a great performance and I am very pleased to get through. I said I wanted to put myself in these positions, so I'm very happy about today.

    "I've given myself a shot of hopefully playing on Sunday. Matches like that are very special, beating Roger is one I am going to remember, but hopefully there's two more matches still to play."

  8. 'No repeat of 2008 Federer-Nadal final'

    Andrew Castle
    BBC Sport tennis commentator

    There's a sense of loss whenever Federer loses because he's so good to watch.

    He's going to have another birthday before the end of the summer, this will be a tough blow, but he's faced defeats before.

    No tournament wants to see Federer go out and we'll be denied a repeat of that 2008 Federer v Nadal final which is a shame.

    Djokovic is back in the locker room and he will be saying 'thank you very much'.

  9. Nadal breaks back

    *Nadal 7-5 5-5 Del Potro

    Del Potro thunders down a first serve which is called out but a successful challenge gives him another go.

    But this time here comes Nadal... the Spaniard is fizzing the ball off the grass. His forehand is on fire. He spins away a winner and belts out a "VAMOSSSS".

    Rafa breaks back.

    Federer 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 4-6 11-13 Anderson

    Here is Kevin Anderson after that remarkable five-set win over top seed Roger Federer: "Down 2-0 I tried my best to keep fighting and was able to scrape through and by the end I thought I did a great job. I was in the flow of the match.

    "Beating Roger Federer at Wimbledon will be one I remember, especially in such a close match.

    "I just kept on telling myself I had to keep believing and saying today was going to be my day, you need that against someone like Roger, if you go out with doubts - like maybe I did in the first set - it's not going to go your way

    "As the match went on, I gave it my all and obviously I'm very ecstatic."

    Where did that come from?! Nadal hands Juan Martin del Potro the break with a shocker of a service game. DelPo will now serve for the set.

    What a dramatic few minutes at Wimbledon.

    Federer is out and now this on Centre.

  17. *Nadal 7-5 4-4 Del Potro
