    Britain's Ken Skupski on his opponents being soaked by a sprinkler in his mixed doubles defeat earlier: "The sprinkler head behind the umpire's chair just popped up. You hear it, it's an unusual sound, and then 100 gallons of water just started nailing them.

    "Fortunately the water was spraying on the other side. I've seen clips on YouTube of it happening at tournaments but not at Wimbledon, so that was unexpected.

    "And to move courts and start straight away in a bit of a different environment, that was a bit unusual, but at least we might make it onto the TV tonight."

    Defending champion and world number one Novak Djokovic withstood fierce pressure from Hubert Hurkacz to advance to the fourth round earlier today.

    The Serb prevailed 7-5 6-7 (5-7) 6-1 6-4 against the 22-year-old Pole, who he beat in straight sets at the French Open in June.

    It was a battle and there were plenty of brilliant shots from Hurkacz but Djokovic eventually came through.

    Novak Djokovic seems a little bit like he has a hangover from the French. He was going for four in-a-row and that's bugging him. He just needs to step up and get into the second week. I still think he's the big favourite.

    I can't imagine in the juniors she had ever been close to this. It's just about keeping it in play and hoping something can happen. And guess what? Coco did make it happen.

    The great thing about the women's tour is really anyone can win it. Anyone ranked in the top 40, but we might have to extend it out to qualifiers.

    It's better that Coco Gauff doesn't win it this year. For her sake, long-term. We want her to be out there for 15-20 years. I think she could beat Simona Halep but I don't think she will. Halep has not had a great year and looks tight on this surface. I would obviously pick Halep to win but I'm not going to bet a whole lot on that one!

  13. 'She beat Hercog at her own game'published at 20:58 British Summer Time 5 July 2019

    Pat Cash
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC TV

    Gauff struggled with the slice, that's what Hercog brings. It did kind of look like junior tennis at stages where they were pushing the ball back and waiting for a mistake.

    To beat somebody who is experienced like that at her own game - it's a good effort.

    Nigel Clarkson: The fairytale continues. A girl roughly the same age as some of the ball boys & girls has won her 3rd game at Wimbledon. Such incredible talent, and back from the brink of a near 6-3, 6-3 defeat. She is greatness in the making.

    Michael Scarn: Maybe let's not get carried away until she's played Halep? Gauff is undoubtedly talented but has hardly played top seeds or players at the top of their game.

    We saw it all in one day. We saw Gauff being aggressive, pushing, looking like she was lost, being professional in interviews... She seemed to naturally say the right thing!

    She is a great thinker on court. She sizes up her opponent and figures out what she needs to do. She was matching the slices with an opponent who loves that shot.

  17. 'Halep will be easier because she hits a solid ball'published at 20:50 British Summer Time 5 July 2019

    John McEnroe
    Three-time Wimbledon singles champion on BBC TV

    It's not easy to keep going and giving it your all. You're 15 and never been in this posiiton. She's the talk of the US. I think it caught up to her a little today.

    I worry it's too much too soon. My Wimbledon debut, you're 18 and you get to the semis. I'm thankful I didn't win it.

    She's got to be handled very carefully. Her parents seem to have great heads on their shoulders. We don't want to overwhelm her too soon.

    I think Halep will be easier because she hits a solid ball. This was an awkward opponent today.

    Another teenager has been in action this evening, though he's been slightly upstaged by Gauff's antics.

    Canadian 18-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime (practically ancient compared to Gauff) was seeded 19th, but failed to make it through to the fourth round after losing to unseeded Frenchman Ugo Humbert in straight sets.

    Cori Gauff was already the youngest ever qualifier at the All England Club and she's following in the footsteps of other great teenage stars:

    • Martina Hingis was 16 when she won the 1997 Wimbledon singles title after winning the Australian Open earlier that year. She won the mixed doubles (which Gauff has entered with Britain's Jay Clarke) aged 15
    • Boris Becker won Wimbledon at the age of 17 in 1985, beating Kevin Curran to become the youngest ever Grand Slam champion at the time
    • Maria Sharapova won the 2004 edition of Wimbledon aged 17, beating the legend that is Serena Williams
    • Nick Kyrgios became the first Wimbledon debutant to reach the quarter-finals in 10 years when he upset Rafael Nadal in the fourth round in 2014

    Che Seabourne: Well this is turning into quite the story for Coco Gauff! A word too for Polona Hercog - who conducted herself with a lot of composure in the face of a partisan crowd. Hugely entertaining match!
