Now then. Johanna Konta with 15-30 on the Sloane Stephens serve...

*Stephens 6-3 4-5 Konta
Johanna Konta has won 58 points. Sloane Stephens has won 65 points.
Somehow the gap feels a lot more than seven points.
Stephens has been significantly better, but if Konta can force a breakthrough in the next set, we will be dead level at a set all.

*Murray/Herbert 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 2-6 0-3 Mektic/Skugor
Andy Murray's men's doubles dream might be slipping away.
He and Pierre-Hugues Herbert trail two sets to one and are down a break in the fourth.
Sixth seeds Nikola Mektic and Franko Skugo are flying.
Nadal breaks once morepublished at 16:02 British Summer Time 6 July 2019
Tsonga 2-6 3-6 1-2 Nadal*
Three break points from the Spaniard with some great returns, before Tsonga fires his forehand into the net.
It was a really sorry forehand.
The Frenchman would, no doubt, like this to end now.

Annabel Croft
Former British number one on BBC OneKonta has to somehow put that last game behind her very, very quickly and refocus here.
That will be hurting - letting that opportunity slip.

Murray/Herbert 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 2-6 0-2 Mektic/Skugor*
Infuriating for Murray and Herbert - the Frenchman is sent skipping backwards to meet a long lob and can only coax it into the net.
Mektic and Skugor break.

But they face three break points already.

Or should that be 'Konta misses break point'?
The Briton, with a look at the Stephens second serve, bunts well long. HawkEye cannot help her either...

*Stephens 6-3 3-4 Konta
Sloane Stephens is the captain of this Court One ship.
The way she is playing, she gets to decide if this contest is done in the next 20 minutes or so.
She is 40-0 in a twinkle.
But what is this mutiny?!
Konta clambers back to 40-0 and deuce! Could she?

*Stephens 6-3 3-4 Konta
Andrew Cotter
BBC Sport commentator at WimbledonOnce again, it's a struggle for Konta but a good hold in the end.
As long as she keeps her nose in front she has a chance in this match.
She's a little unsettled. You can see how comfortable and composed Stephens looks at the moment.
Although it looks close on the scores, it doesn't feel like it is - Stephens is in control here.

Oh my. Franko Skugor with a fist-bump worthy ferocious winner.
Set point number five. And this time, the Croatians take it.

*Stephens 6-3 3-4 Konta
Johanna Konta smashes a volley straight back at Sloane Stephens when the American was parked on the baseline at 30-15.
Stephens manages to ping a half-volley back onto her toes and has a look at 30-30.
Creak, squeak. Creak, squeak.
But Konta resists the pressure with one finely-crafted point and another big serve.
Game and second set Nadalpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 6 July 2019
Tsonga 2-6 3-6 Nadal
We have only played 70 minutes and Nadal, with another forehand winner, is two sets to the good.
It doesn't feel like a 6-2 6-3, it feels like a double bagel.

*Murray/Herbert 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 2-5 Mektic/Skugor
Murray just can't close out this game. His opponents, the sixth seeds, keep grinding and earn a fourth set point - Herbert leaps two-footed into the air to hammer that one away.
Deuce.

Saved, again! Andy Murray keeps delivering missiles when he needs them most, blasting a hole in Nikola Mektic's racquet.
Then he dashes to the net to take this game on himself, almost pushing Herbert aside, Franko Skugor parries it long and the Scottish-French duo have the advantage.
