FYI whoever wins this is guaranteed £176,000 for reaching the fourth round.
Mind you, whoever loses still gets £111,000. Not bad.

Crucial.
Gauff has started targeting Hercog's backhand and it's working. The Slovenian bats the ball into the net.
But she gets it back onto her forehand and hits a cross-court winner.
Gauff screams at her box after hitting a winning volley at the net. Then shouts "come on!" as Hercog can't make it over the gauze twice to give Gauff the hold.

But an excellent fightback by Coco Gauff, who was able to play each point and keep her positivity.

Gauff was hanging by a thread, but she allowed Hercog to make the errors.

Foxtrot Tango Mike: Cori Gauff is going to be some player, mind. 15 years old and has never been outclassed once by the seasoned professionals.

She's done it!
Hercog's forehand goes into the net and that's the break. Is this going to be the best comeback EVER?

What is happening?!

That's nerves, that's understandable.

A nervy forehand for Hercog is too long. 30-15.
The "come on Cori" fans are in full swing now.
Hercog hits what should have been a forehand winner down the line but Gauff gets there and sets up for a brilliant cross-court forehand out of the Slovenian's reach. 30-30.

Hercog hits a few tentative shots and Gauff goes on the attack. But the American goes in a bit too hard and the ball lands long. 15-0.
Gauff's backhand return goes wide. 30-0.
Mixed fortunes for Kyrgios and Murraypublished at 18:37 British Summer Time 5 July 2019
Nick Kyrgios, fresh-ish from his defeat by Rafael Nadal, is in mixed doubles action with American Desirae Krawczyk.
The pair have just taken the first set 7-6 (7-4) against Kiwi Marcus Daniell and American Jennifer Brady.
Meanwhile, Jamie Murray, maybe not so fresh from his men's doubles defeat, along with Bethanie Mattek-Sands could be set to go a set behind in his match against British pair Joe Salisbury and Katy Dunne.
They are a break down and 5-4 down.

Gauff has suddenly come to life. An impressive response to facing match point as the 15-year-old sprints after every ball to hold.
Hercog is serving for the match now though.
