    Pegula is looking very good. This match-up was a favourable one for her and she was really clear on what she wanted to do.

    Pegula 6-1 6-3 Tsurenko

    Kind of sums up the match for Lesia Tsurenko.

    Jessica Pegula bangs in a massive return down the line - it's called out by the umpire but the American challenges and it's clipped the line paper-cut thin.

    Pegula cruises through to the quarter-finals in straight sets. Impressive display from the world number four.

    Rublev 6-5 Bublik*

    Michael Emons
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    A problem for Rublev as he has sustained a finger injury in the eighth game. Bublik's serve at 122mph, was returned by Rublev, but mistimed with the ball flying miles out.

    But the ball hit Rublev's right hand, with him instantly in agony, repeatedly shaking his hand, with blood coming from one of his fingers. He gets some medical treatment and can carry on but how bad is the damage? Are we talking a broken finger, or just a painful bang on the hand and bending the finger back?

    The finger is bandaged up, but still causing Rublev an issue and he adjusts the bandage before starting a service game, which he holds to 30 as Bublik misses the chance to capitalise.

    Rublev 6-5 Bublik*

    We've only had one break point opportunity in this first set which perhaps tell you how the match has gone so far.

    Alexander Bublik will hope it stays that way as the Kazakh looks to get himself to a tiebreak.

    Back under way on Court One after that injury time-out - but Lesia Tsurenko hits long on the first point.

    Which means a third match point for Jessica Pegula.

    Ooh and we have a challenge...

    Alexander Bublik started this fourth round match a little unsettled. He seems to be comfortable now and his serve is doing the damage as he levels the set again.

    Tsurenko was very quick to rip that sock off because of whatever the problem is with her foot. It's a precarious time for a medical time-out.

    23rd seed Alexander Bublik hits a forehand winner down the line which impresses the Centre Court crowd and gets him to 40-30 on the Andrey Rublev serve.

    However, the seventh seed doesn't get taken to deuce and nips ahead once more.

    Lesia Tsurenko calls for the trainer after pulling up injured during a rally - seems her right foot is the problem.

    Think it's a blistering, skin issue rather than a muscle one.

    A second match point saved as Jessica Pegula again goes long.

    She'd earned it with a nice forehand pass to end a thrilling rally but can't convert the opportunity.

    Andrey Rublev is in some pain. Attempting a dive volley he hurt his right hand and it would appear quite badly. It looks like the little finger is an issue. Worrying moments for the seventh seed.

    There was a chance of showers forecast in the first few hours today before it is expected to brighten up and be a lovely day.

    Thankfully, we’ve not had any delays so far on day seven but we’re not out of the woods just yet with it still looking a bit bleak overhead.

    Pegula 6-1 5-3 Tsurenko*

    A bit of inaccuracy was creeping in from Jessica Pegula but she rights the ship and has her first match point on the Tsurenko serve.

    But the American goes inches long and we head to deuce.

    Rublev 4-3 Bublik*

    After hitting a forehand, Andrey Rublev shakes his hand wildly in pain as that cut he had treatment on during the last change of ends seems to have opened up.

    The trainer is out again and we're 30-30 on Alexander Bublik's serve.

    Comeback on?

    Jess Pegula has hit a couple wayward balls in this service game, bringing up two break points for Tsurenko.

    And she takes the second with a brilliant backhand winner down the line. It's not over yet.

    Mirra Andreeva's third-round victory over Anastasia Potapova earlier on was halted by the umpire making a very polite request to the crowd on court three...

    Rublev 4-3 Bublik*

    We've had the first real challenge on a player's serve in this fourth round match on Centre Court.

    Andrey Rublev is taken to deuce and needs three game points to finally make it through.

    The seventh seed is now taking a medical time out though and getting treatment on his finger, most likely after diving on the grass in that last game.

    Pegula's first serve is clocking a little higher than her average. She has pulled out of the mixed doubles which makes you think she is starting to believe.
