    After doing so well to save two break points, Bai Zhuoxuan concedes the third to Ons Jabeur

    The Tunisian sixth seed will now serve for the set.

    The sun is slipping behind the stands of Centre Court, leaving one quarter of the court in sunshine and the rest in shade.

    It's giving Iga Swiatek a bit of trouble to start off here and her serve into the glare is slightly awry.

    Two fizzing forehands get her out of trouble at double break point down but she looks disgusted as she sticks a shot at 40-40 into the net.

    Petra Martic can't capitalise though and Swiatek scrambles to hold.

    The view from the top of the main stand on court 12 provides one of the best panoramic views of Wimbledon as you can look out over seven different outside courts and can see the stands of court two next door, where Britain’s Liam Broady is playing Canada’s Denis Shapovalov.

    It is also close to capacity on 12 with those in attendance watching a hard-fought battle between Russia's Andrey Rublev, the seventh seed, and Belgium's David Goffin in their third-round match and we're level at one set all.

    Rublev won the first set and had two set points in the second set tie-breaker, but couldn't take either of them and Goffin, a wildcard entry and down at 123rd in the rankings, but who has twice reached the quarter-finals here, took his first opportunity.

    He then broke Rublev's serve early in the third set.

    Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik, the 23rd seed, awaits the winner in the last 16.

  4. Game and third set - Shapovalovpublished at 18:45 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    Shapovalov 4-6 6-2 7-5 Broady

    Wow. Liam Broady is picked up and spat back out by a Denis Shapovalov whirlwind.

    From three games behind, the Canadian completes a stunning fightback to take the third set 7-5 and leave the only Briton remaining in the men's singles scratching his head.

  5. Shapovalov breaks servepublished at 18:42 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    *Shapovalov 4-6 6-2 6-5 Broady

    Denis Shapovalov is on a roll now in this third set.

    Another break of serve delivers a fourth successive game to turn the set in his favour from 5-2 down.

    Suddenly, he'll have the chance to serve this out. What a comeback this would be...

  6. Jabeur gets early breakpublished at 18:41 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    *Jabeur 3-1 Bai

    Over on Court One, we've got women's sixth seed Ons Jabeur in action.

    She is currently playing Bai Zhuoxuan of China, the world number 191.

    The Tunisian, last year's runner-up at SW19, has got off to a great start with an early break. She leads Bai 3-1.

    I don’t think it will be Andy Murray’s last year.

    I definitely think he will be back at Wimbledon.

    He's going to be disappointed with a second-round loss. He still has the belief he can win these matches.

  8. Swiatek clear favouritepublished at 18:39 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    After another Andy Murray rollercoaster, Centre Court is settling down for what could be a slightly more straightforward match-up.

    World number one Iga Swiatek has progressed effortlessly through the first two rounds and has already eased past Petra Martic this season in Madrid.

    She races to 0-30 on Matric's serve but the Croat pulls it back to deuce.

    Two strong serves later and she holds.

    Before Andy Murray's defeat by Stefanos Tsitsipas, British number one Cameron Norrie lost out to American Chris Eubanks in four sets.

    Here's what Eubanks had to say following that win on Court One:

    "That's by far the biggest win of my career, by far. Not even a question. There's tons of really good tennis players who never get the chance to play the number one Brit at Wimbledon in an atmosphere like this. It didn't really matter how many people were for me or against me. This is something I will never forget for the rest of my life.

    On his tennis inspirations: I watched a lot of Federer growing up, I still go back to his old matches and try to pick things up. I try to take little bits of various players and implement them into my game."

    On how we would have commentated on today's match: "I would have gave myself a pretty good grade. Commentary has really helped my game, help my ability to watch the match and play it with style and I hope to continue to do it."

    On whether his opinion of grass has changed: "No kidding. I had a rough go of it in Surbition. I lost the second round and I just wanted to complain. So I just complained to a lot of the players that grass wasn't for me, can't wait to get onto the court where the ball bounces consistently. But I have a better perception of the grass going into the next weeks."

  10. Shapovalov level in the thirdpublished at 18:36 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    We're all square again on court two as Denis Shapovalov whittles away Liam Broady's lead in the third set.

    The 26th seed has stepped up a level in the past 10 minutes and he's levelled it up at 5-5.

    Broady needs to find something.

    Don't go anywhere.

    The action is far from over as next on Centre Court is world number one Iga Swiatek against Petra Martic.

    Then, there's the small matter of Novak Djokovic v Stan Wawrinka.

    Plus, Liam Broady is battling to be the only Briton in the men's singles draw following those defeats for Andy Murray and Cameron Norrie.

  12. 'Maybe it was fatigue'published at 18:33 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    Former British number one on BBC TV

    In this second half of the match, Murray’s first-serve percentage wasn’t as good. Maybe that was fatigue in the legs. He wasn’t getting up to the ball quite as much and he wasn’t as aggressive from the baseline.

  13. 'Murray made me run everywhere'published at 18:32 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    On how much being able to regroup after the match was suspended last night because of the 11pm curfew, Tsitsipas added:

    "It did not help me that much, You are dealing with a lot of things.

    "You are dealing with Andy Murray at the other side of the net, a set down and now was the most challenging part today.

    "He can return a lot of balls and make it a marathon and I had to work extra hard.

    "My legs are sore, and he made he run left and run, up and down for how many hours."

    Heavy forehands from Denis Shapovalov and suddenly he's back in this game.

    He has Liam Broady scrambling across the court and brings up two break points.

    The Englishman goes long with his forehand and we're back on serve.

  15. 'The difference between Murray and Tsitsipas was age'published at 18:31 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    The difference is the age. Tsitsipas is 12 years younger and he is really fit. That really helped him because he looked pretty fresh in that fifth set.

    The Brits have been dropping in the past half hour but Liam Broady remains in the men's singles draw.

    He is serving for the third set over on court two against Canada's Denis Shapovalov.

    Here is what Stefanos Tsitsipas had to say following his five-set thriller against Andy Murray:

    "It's never easy against Andy, I know. Everyone loves him here. It was a very difficult game and I'm impressed how well he holds up after his hip surgeries and his level today. I wish him the best in the future.

    "It was nerve-racking. It was an obstacle and it's extra difficult when you've grown up watching him play on this court.

    "I had goosebumps when he won his first Wimbledon title and his courageous run in 2012.

    "I looked up to him, Roger (Federer) Novak (Djokovic) and Rafa (Nadal) so these four guys shaped the game and they are reason I am the player I am today."

  18. 'Murray had the upper hand last night'published at 18:27 British Summer Time 7 July 2023

    It’s safe to say Murray had the upper hand last night but when they came out again there was so little in it.

    Credit to Tsitsipas for getting it over the line.

    Stefanos Tsitsipas barely put a foot wrong after resuming at two-sets-to-one down this afternoon.

    Andy Murray had one below-par game in that final set, and it cost him.

    That's why he was so keen to earn a seeding and avoid meeting someone like the Greek so early on.

    Still, how good is it to see Murray back at this level.

    Tsitsipas is paying tribute to his opponent in his post-match interview, which we'll bring to you next.
