    Jose Mourinho was at SW19 earlier this week to keep tabs on fellow Portuguese Joao Sousa - wonder if he'll be making a return this afternoon?

    "So you're going to buy even more hoodies with your winnings?"

    Coco Gauff's world has been all sun and rainbows (and Beyonce) of late, but she's under a small cloud at the moment on court two in her mixed doubles match where she has partnered Brit Jay Clarke.

    The pair have already been broken twice by Robert Lindstedt and Jelena Ostapenko.

    Knowing Gauff though...

    *Federer 1-1 Pouille

    You are on Centre Court, and playing Roger Federer. Nervous? Pouille doesn't look it...

    He powers down an ace to hold and get off the mark nice and early.

    "His feet are moving better now," is Becker's verdict.

  4. Emotional Evans has more to comepublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Dan Evans has enjoyed a successful grass-court season in the run-up to Wimbledon, winning titles at Surbiton and Nottingham, and has played with confidence in his run to the last 32.

    Now the world number 61 faces Portugal's Joao Sousa, ranked eight places lower, as he bids to reach the last 16 for the first time at SW19.

    Evans was tearful after beating Georgian 18th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili.

    "It was a goal to be in the main draw here. I did that. Obviously I missed out the last few years," he said.

    "There's plenty more tennis to be played in this tournament, so I won't be resting on that win."

    More winners and fewer unforced errors from Sloane Stephens, but, after the American's excellence subsided, Johanna Konta came through.

  6. A fast start from Fedpublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Federer 1-0 *Pouille

    Federer takes the first game to love, in less than 60 seconds. At this rate we will be done and dusted in 18 minutes' time.

  7. Fognini apologises for 'bomb' remarkpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Fabio Fognini apologised after being heard saying in Italian: "I wish a bomb would explode on this club" during his defeat by Tennys Sandgren.

    The volatile Italian is under threat of a two-tournament Grand Slam ban after using misogynistic language to a female umpire at the US Open in 2017.

    Fognini said: "Most of the time when you're on court, you're frustrated. For sure I was not happy about my performance today because I was knowing I have a lot to win in this case, because I think I have a good chance to win.

    "Something happened on court. If somebody feels offended, I say sorry. No problem."

  8. 'Pouille needs nerves of steel'published at 16:45 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Federer 0-0 Pouille

    Federer and Lucas Pouille have met only once before - on a hard court in Paris in 2014. Fed won that one 6-4 6-4.

    "He has got the game to trouble Roger," says Boris Becker, "but this is a big occasion in a big arena and he is going to need nerves of steel."

    Federer to serve first... and he wins the first point with an ace.

  9. Up next on Court One...published at 16:45 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    It's British number three Dan Evans!

    Should Evans win today he will become the first British man other than Andy Murray to reach the last 16 at Wimbledon since Tim Henman in 2004, while Joao Sousa will become the first Portuguese man in history to reach that stage if he is triumphant.

  10. Konta into last 16published at 16:44 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Stephens 6-3 4-6 1-6 Konta

    Here is Johanna Konta speaking to BBC Two:

    "I think I just kept plugging away in the second. She was playing incredibly well and I was fully prepared not to be coming back. I just tried to mix things up and get her out of that zone because she was so in it.

    "When she plays at her best she is incredibly tough to play against and I had to work incredibly hard to get my level up to her's.

    "Every round is tricky. I am just really pleased to have come this far and with the tennis I am playing. I am looking forward to playing Petra, one of the best players in the world, and I am delighted to be in that position."

    It was brilliant turnaround by Johanna Konta.

    The match was teetering on the brink in the second set. Sloane Stephens was so close to finding the breakthrough but Konta found way to turn it around.

    She changed the direction of the match and got on top of Stephens. From then on it was one-way traffic.

  12. Here comes Federer...published at 16:42 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Lucas Pouille is 25 and has had a smattering of success in his tennis career, reaching the quarter-finals here in 2016, beating Rafael Nadal on his way to the last eight of the US Open later that year and then reaching the Australian Open semi-finals in January 2019, but there is only person the fans are screaming for as both players emerge on court... and it's not the Frenchman.

    "What's in stock for this one?" asks Boris Becker, who is co-commentating for the BBC. Let's find out...

    Stephens 6-3 4-6 1-6 Konta

    A shriek of delight from Johanna Konta as Sloane Stephens pushes long over the baseline.

    What a gutsy performance. She looked like she was gong to be beaten in the second set, but hung tough, weathered the storm and came on strong down the home straight.

  14. 'I'm happy with my first week'published at 16:38 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Tsonga 2-6 3-6 2-6 Nadal

    Rafael Nadal speaking to BBC Sport: "I was very happy. I played a great match from the beginning to the end. I was aggressive with the forehand and backhand. Jo is one of those players you don't want to face early but today was my day.

    "Every single day is a battle here. I'm happy with the way that I played in the first week. It's day by day now. I'll try to have a good practice session.

    "I have been in the second week of Wimbledon nine times but in Grand Slams it's a lot more. It's something that is important and gives me a positive feeling. Tomorrow I start the work again."

  15. Federer next up on Centrepublished at 16:37 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Federer v Pouille

    Next up on Centre Court is Roger Federer, who is up against France's Lucas Pouille and chasing a personal milestone.

    If Federer wins today, it will be his 350th victory in Grand Slam tournaments. If he does it, he will become the first player in history – man or woman - to reach that milestone.

    Well, Johanna Konta is certainly outmanoeuvring, out-thinking and out-playing Sloane Stephens at the moment.

    She has all the answers.

    She serves for the match next. Something that looked distinctly unlikely midway through the second.
