Federer 5-5 Sonego*
OH!
Brilliant from Sonego, who rushes to meet a Federer drop shot, but his little push is just, just long!

Federer 5-5 Sonego*
OH!
Brilliant from Sonego, who rushes to meet a Federer drop shot, but his little push is just, just long!
Advantage Federer, for what feels like the 90th time...
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Lovely little one-two punch from Sonego and the Italian gets lucky as Federer, for some reason, lobs the ball staright back at him and allows the Italian to punch away a winner.
It's raining...
*Auger-Aliassime 6-4 7-6 (8-6) 3-6 3-6 1-0 Zverev
What a match the fans are seeing on Court One, with Emma Raducanu to come later on tonight.
Auger-Aliassime v Zverev is already up to three hours 18 minutes, but Auger-Aliassime now has a route to the quarter-finals as he has broken the German fourth seed right at the start of the decider.
Hold his serve from here on and it's the last eight for the Canadian.
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Oh, that's a bad miss from Sonego, picking up a backhand and netting it, and Federer has another break point...
12 minutes and counting.

Another marathon game on the Sonego serve. The fifth game needed 16 points before the Italian hung on.
This time we're up to 17... which way will it go?
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Sonego still can't find a first serve but he's rewarded as his furious forehand down the line finally finds its mark!
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Another chance to break for Federer as he lets rip on the backhand an Sonego's forehand breaks down once again...
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Federer has a second serve to play with here but he batters a backhand long over the baseline.
Advantage, Sonego - but a slice backhand finds the middle of the net, and we're going on.
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Advantage, Sonego, once again...
...Cancelled out as an on-the-move Federer pulls a forehand winner from out of the air!

Plenty of life in the old dog yet. Schoolboy errors that the 26-year-old Sonego should not be making allow Federer back into the game.
The Italian invites his opponent to pass him off both wings - and he obliges.
Cheers then drown out groans as Sonego is rocked on the baseline.
Tense.
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Federer can't return this serve cleanly, though, and we're at deuce.
Sonego puffs out his cheeks in relief.
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Ooh, that's a long, wild forehand from Sonego, and it's break point, Federer...
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Federer mullers a second serve back at Sonego and he nets, which means this game will keep on going...
Auger-Aliassime 6-4 7-6 (8-6) 3-6 3-6 Zverev
It's going all the way on Court One as Alexander Zverev has fought back from two sets down to tie it up at two two.
Zverev had a break in the fourth, but didn't even have to serve it out as Auger-Aliassime lost his serve again with a sloppy game that included a double fault and slapping one into the net with an unforced error.
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Advantage, Sonego, and a huge roar from the Italian...
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Federer misses another straightforward forehand out of the air, before a brilliant pick-up off the baseline marks 12 points in a row for the Italian.
Sonego spoils his run of points with a double fault before he watches a passing forehand from Federer go whizzing past him for 30-40.
And now, suddenly, we're at deuce, as Sonego is once again passed at the net!
*Auger-Aliassime 6-4 7-6 (8-6) 3-5 Zverev
Alexander Zverev is one game away from forcing this one into a decider on Court One.
Felix Auger-Aliassime won the first two 6-4 7-6 (8-6), Zverev took the third 6-3 and is a break up at 5-3 in the fourth.

Do we have ourselves a match now?

Well, this wasn't in the script. Despite the obvious shock of the pro-Federer crowd, Sonego is given a hearty round of applause after keeping the set alive.
Federer 5-5 Sonego*
Well then!
Federer serves and volleys, misses the volley again, and he is broken to love!
