    And another. Two saved, one to go.

    An Anderson ace, curving away from Djokovic saves the first of those three break points.

    Anderson looks to sweep away a forehand and follow it in, but it only hits the net, three break points for Djokovic 0-40.

    This could be the match here. Love-30 on the Anderson serve. Djokovic two points away from serving for the match and a spot in the last 32.

    Kyrgios 6-4 4-6 3-6 6-1 3-3 Humbert

    Nick Kyrgios' battle with Ugo Humbert is about to resume in the fifth set.

    It's two sets apiece and 3-3 in the decider, after they failed to get it finished last night. Although the Australian hasn't been impressed by the surface...

    Wimbledon 2021: Nick Kyrgios says Wimbledon grass courts are "a joke"

    Djokovic 6-3 6-3 4-3 Anderson*

    Brilliant play from Djokovic with a hold to love. It's great variety from the world number one.

    He sends Anderson round the court with one point and then with pin-point accuracy finds the back corner of the service box with the next one for an ace to take it.

    Anderson does all he can and that's hold his serve - now the hard part, trying to dismantle the Djokovic serve.

  8. Game and first set - Cirstea puts pedal to metal at the endpublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 30 June 2021

    *Murray Sharan 3-6 Cirstea

    The end of the first set, when it came, was swift as Cirstea ripped through that last game with a hold to love to wrap it up.

    She might have lost her only two games on grass so far this season, but seems to have found her feet very quickly (while all around the courts still seem to be losing theirs.)

    Djokovic 6-3 6-3 3-2 Anderson*

    Djokovic slips again, I think that's the fifth time today, but even though he is on his knees still manages to get the return back.

    That helps him hold to another one as Kevin Anderson's chances of a shock are getting slimmer and slimmer.

    We're still on serve in this set, but Anderson is not threatening a break at the moment.

    *Djokovic 6-3 6-3 2-2 Anderson

    Anderson is taken to 30 on his next service game, but sees off the threat with an ace, his eighth of the match.

    Murray Sharan 3-5 Cirstea*

    Maybe that tumble shook up Murray Sharan a little more than we realised as Cirstea breaks pretty easily and will serve for the first set.

    Anderson is built for tennis at 6'8. He reminds me of a giraffe when he gets into that service action.

  13. Wimbledon defends state of courtspublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 30 June 2021

    Wimbledon says its courts are "as good as they have always been" in response to mounting criticism as players continued to suffer falls on Wednesday.

    Serena Williams and Adrian Mannarino retired injured on Centre Court following slips on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Australian Nick Kyrgios said the courts were a "joke" and too slow.

    Former British number one Tim Henman, a member of the All England Club [AELTC] board, told the BBC: "It's about controlling the controllables."

    He added: "In terms of the preparation of the surface - the science and the readings - we have all that data. Wimbledon will leave no stone unturned and we hope there will be no more injuries. The courts are as good as they have always been."

    Anderson just can't make a dent into the Djokovic serve though and it's another hold to love from the defending champion.

    *Murray Sharan 3-4 Cirstea

    Murray Sharan is just the latest in a line of players to take a wee tumble on the slick greens of SW19 as she serves to stick with the Romanian.

    The shot clock is also on the blink.

    *Djokovic 6-3 6-3 1-1 Anderson

    "Come on," says Anderson as he gets another service game on the board.

    He's sending them down at a mere 133mph. Djokovic though is spotting them and keeping the points going somehow, but we're still on serve in the third.

    This is just the second time Cameron Norrie has reached round two of Wimbledon. Indeed, he's not progressed through round two of any Grand Slam to date.

    Up next the world number 34 takes on Australia's Alex Bolt - the world number 149.

    A chance?

    Djokovic 6-3 6-3 1-0 Anderson*

    How does Kevin Anderson get back into this? There's no hope for him in Djokovic's first service game. Maybe desperately try to hold serve and get lucky in a tie-break? At the moment there only looks one winner from here.
