    *Tsonga 2-6 3-6 1-5 Nadal

    Now then.

    Nadal's battery-powered radar looks to be running short of juice.

    He goes long and it's deuce.

    But he places a couple of new non-supermarket AAs in the radar and holds.

    It was probably the hardest Tsonga has pushed him on his own serve.

  2. Two break points Kontapublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    *Stephens 6-3 4-6 0-1 Konta

    The turnaround is so fast the the collective head of the Court One crowd is spinning.

    Sloane Stephens, who was making everything, swats a volley wide.

    Johanna Konta, who was definitely not making everything, lands a lovely backhand slice right on the chalk.

    Two break points for Konta...

    *Murray/Herbert 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 2-6 2-5 Mektic/Skugor

    Murray skittles down a scorcher to start and Skugor slaps it long on the stretch from out wide.

    A serve and volley from the Scot does the business to make it 30-0.

    Finger pointing, fist shaking.

    Franko Skugor and Nikola Mektic are on the verge of dumping British favourite Andy Murray and partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert out of Wimbledon. And they're loving it...

    Dr Ros Clarke: GO KONTA!!!! It's never over until it's over.

    Stephanie Shrubb: Keeeeping her cool, YES KONTA!

    What a difference a set makes.

    Johanna Konta, whose serve was barricaded in for most of the second set, holds to love.

    Is she the player with the momentum into this decider?

    Margie: Poor Tsonga it's just too much for him out there against Nadal. Nadal is too good right now.

  8. 'Hanging in there'published at 16:13 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Barbora Strycova still hasn't dropped a set in her three matches at Wimbledon this week - which included a 7-5 6-1 win over fourth seed Kiki Bertens earlier today.

    She may be being harsh on herself here...

    Murray/Herbert 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 2-6 2-4 Mektic/Skugor*

    Just brilliant. Andy Murray with more slice than that loaf of bread you picked up from the bakery this morning - delicately spinning a volley just over the tape and watching it anchor down on the turf. A big hold from the serve of Herbert.

    How much will Sloane Stephens rue those squandered break points?

  11. Nadal breaks againpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Tsonga 2-6 3-6 1-4 Nadal*

    This is viewing-through-the gaps-between-your-fingers if you're a Tsonga fan. Even the computer is against the Frenchman after it rules a first serve to have landed wide after Nadal challenges.

    A double fault follows.

    A double break for Nadal follows.

    BBC Sport commentator at Wimbledon

    Well, sometimes it happens in tennis.

    One player can be hanging on in there and just at the right moment they take their chance.

    Stephens 6-3 4-6 0-0 *Konta

    Well, well, well.

    Johanna Konta's wrong-footing forehand, back against the grain of the rally, beats Sloane Stephens and we are level pegs.

    Edward Ditchfield: Looking grim for Murray in the doubles, but which singles players would it be great to see play doubles. Would love to see a Federer-Djokovic partnership. Would be unbeatable.

    Anyone got a partnership they think would defeat that pairing?

    Anything you can do... the Croatians hit back with a love hold of their own to edge one step closer to the third round.

    Sloane Stephens steps in an wallops away Johanna Konta's runt of a return to save set point.

    *Tsonga 2-6 3-6 1-3 Nadal

    Nadal records his first double fault of the match!!!!

    As the Human League once sang, "He's only human... born to make mistakes".

    The third seed, of course, goes on to hold.

    Murray/Herbert 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 2-6 1-3 Mektic/Skugor*

    Lots of "come on Andy" cries from around court two. They don't want to see their favourite go out here, although they'll also be hoping to catch a glimpse of him and Serena Williams in the mixed doubles later.

    Murray still has time to have a little joke with Franko Skugor after he challenges and is proved wrong. The Scot then fizzes his way to 40-0 on serve.

    Can he close this one out? Yep. Love hold.
