    It's 10 years to the day since Andy Murray ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion at Wimbledon, so we want to hear about your memories:

    Lorraine, 77 – Lincolnshire:

    It was my birthday and the best birthday present ever. I was at home but I could barely watch and I kept getting tearful because I was so scared he wouldn't get over the line again and I worried how he would ever come to terms with another loss. I was petrified but when he won I couldn't stop crying with happiness and the next day I bought a copy of pretty much every newspaper.

    Sarah, 52 – Edinburgh:

    We were on holiday in Portugal with our kids, including my tennis mad 9 year old son. The villa had loads of different doors to access the outside. The last game with all of its deuces, was so unbearable to watch that we kept going out through one door and in through another, barely able to watch. When he finally won we all just ran out and leapt into the pool fully clothed!

    Ali, 18 – Derby:

    My memory of Andy Murray winning the Wimbledon had a massive impact on my desire to watch tennis and become a tennis player in the future. Andy Murray's Wimbledon triumph gave me and million of others inspiration to the same and also made us love the sport even more. It is one of the most biggest sporting moments in British sport history and I would like to thanks Andy for this. I was 9 years old when the match happened and at that time I was not that much of a fan of any player in tennis but after watching the match and realising what Murray did, made me his biggest fan.

    There wasn’t much between Murray and Tsitsipas. It was a little bit tetchy. The quality of tennis was exceptional.

    That slip was nasty, you thought Murray was done. At Murray’s age and the injury he has had, I think if he kept going and there was no curfew he wins that match.

    Now he is going to have to get going again. How is that going to feel? It’s going to be tough.

    It's set to be a full house at Wimbledon today!

    This was the message from Wimbledon HQ first thing, advising people intending to queue today not to travel.

    It's set fair for a busy day at SW19.

    Away from the show courts, there's plenty of other exciting matches to watch out for.

    Britain's Liam Broady, a winner against fourth seed Casper Ruud on Thursday, will be looking to reach the last 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time when he faces 26th seed Denis Shapovalov of Canada on court two.

    Elsewhere, Daniil Medvedev, the Russian third seed, needs only two games for victory against France's Adrian Mannarino, having led 6-3 6-3 4-4 when bad light ended play on court two on Thursday evening.

    There are a host of matches in the men's, women's and mixed doubles.

    Among those in action are Britain's Joe Salisbury and American Rajeev Ram, the men's third seeds, all-British pairing Harriet Dart and Heather Watson and the duo of Britain's Neal Skupski and American Desirae Krawczyk, the second seeds in the mixed doubles.

    Ever wondered what makes Iga Swiatek tick?

    Well, now we have the answers.

    The world number one has been speaking to BBC Sport at Wimbledon about her off-court interests.

    Her meeting with Croatia's Petra Martic will follow the conclusion of Andy Murray against Stefanos Tsitsipas on centre Court later today.

  6. Sixth seed Rune breaks backpublished at 11:37 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    Men's sixth seed Holger Rune had not made the best of starts against Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena.

    The Dane was broken in his opening service game on court three, but he has just restored parity in game four to bring that one back on serve at 2-2.

    Ukrainian 21-year-old Marta Kostyuk is in a hurry over on Court 18.

    She's raced through her opening set in the second round against Spain's Paula Badosa and taken it 6-2.

    This after she came back to beat eighth seed Maria Sakkari in round one, despite being bagelled in the first set of that tie.

    Maybe she just wants to get out of the heat.

    James, 30 - Surrey:

    I was watching the match at home with my mum. I had been hooked on seeing a first British Wimbledon winner since Fred Perry. I loved the lengthy Henman grinds and the Murray deep runs were always enthralling, but they always left me stressed. 2013 was no different... I ended up breaking my hand when Andy was serving for the championship. I was in a cast for 4 weeks...

    Lucy, 51 – Stourbridge:

    At home - with my eyes half closed! I couldn’t stop pacing between the garden and living room during the last game. I was convinced Novak was going to break Andy and that would be the end. Over the moon when he won - screamed like I’d won it myself!

    Wendy, 60 – Aberdeen:

    I was volunteering at the championships that year and had finished my shift so went on to Murray Mound to watch him. What a match! what an atmosphere! what a day! Very emotional and magical day. Count myself very lucky to have witnessed a piece of sporting history ! One of my most treasured memories!

  9. 'An amazing day for Britain'published at 11:31 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    For so long, it had been a tale of near misses and heartbreak for Murray.

    Ten years on from the day Britain's 77-year wait for a British men's singles champion, BBC Sport's Jonathan Jurejko has taken an in-depth look at the story of Andy Murray's historic Wimbledon win.

    Sasnovich is taking zero chances in this glaring sunshine. She’s covered up basically head to toe.

    Only her ankles are showing, she must be absolutely sweltering.

    Kvitova has had to save early break points but eventually holds her serve.

    On a gloriously hot and sunny day sometimes you just want to take a break and have a bit of a rest.

    Don’t fancy being in a ground at the moment? Then why not chill out on a deckchair, grab a drink and an ice cream and relax and watch the action on a big screen.

    The Southern Village Bar area, behind court 12 and to the side of court two, is the perfect place to relax in the sun.

  12. The best of Thursday's action - Broady stuns Ruudpublished at 11:24 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    Of course, Murray was certainly not the only Briton in action on Thursday.

    On an excellent day for the home players, British number five Liam Broady caused the biggest shock so far at this year's Wimbledon with a remarkable five-set win over Norwegian fourth seed Casper Ruud on a frenzied Centre Court.

    Meanwhile, Katie Boulter, Britain's top-ranked woman, also reached the last 32 as she beat Bulgaria's Viktoriya Tomova.

    Here's how they did it.

    Good morning! I’ve arrived early on court two where the sun is absolutely beaming down and it’s already very hot.

    The guards are checking with all the punters that they have water, sun cream and warning them to keep hydrated and I can see people piling on the factor 50 already. Sort of smells like being on holiday, really.

    This is where Petra Kvitova is now in action against Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the second round.

    Imagine playing in this heat? Wow.

    As usual, play begins on Court One slightly before Centre, with the action starting there at 13:00 BST.

    British men's number one Cameron Norrie is second on there, against American Christopher Eubanks.

    First, Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka meets France's Varvara Gracheva, while last year's runner-up Ons Jabeur against China's Zhuoxuan Bai follows Norrie's match.

    It’s one of those days where if you have a ticket for Centre Court you feel like you have won the lottery.

    Not only do you get to see both the current men’s and women’s world number ones in the shape of Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, you also have a late amazing addition of a set or two of Andy Murray versus Stefanos Tsitsipas after that thriller couldn’t be finished in time yesterday.

    And there’s more as reigning champion Novak Djokovic takes on old rival Stan Wawrinka in the final match of the day.

    That is a total of 34 Grand Slam titles won between today’s Centre Court players.

    With beautiful sunshine forecast all day as well, it truly is a fantastic Friday.

  17. What's coming up on day five?published at 11:09 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    It's quite the line up on Centre Court today, with the finale of Andy Murray against Stefanos Tsitsipas now added into the mix.

    The action starts up again at 13:30 BST on that court, when world number one Carlos Alcaraz meets Alexandre Muller of France.

    Having hopefully recovered from yesterday's efforts, Murray and Tsitsipas then return, before women's top seed Iga Swiatek faces Croatia's Petra Martic.

    Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic then rounds off the action as he faces three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka.

    Fantastic Friday?
