    Both players are back on court and Aryna Sabalenka will serve first in the deciding set.

    It's a comfortable hold for the world number one.

    You can watch the conclusion live on BBC One and via the stream at the top of this page, while commentary from Wimbledon continues on BBC Radio 5 Live.

    I though she [Sabalenka] really used her composure in the second set to regroup.

    We've seen her just yell and scream at her team sometimes but she did well to figure it out against Siegemund.

    Before this tournament, 37-year-old Laura Siegemund had earned a little over $6.9m (£5.1m) in prize money during her career.

    Aryna Sabalenka has won close to $6m (£4.4m) in 2025 alone.

    At the moment, there's nothing to separate them in this Wimbledon quarter-final.

    Siegemund is still off court, so Sabalenka is practising her serve on Centre.

    Another routine hold to love for Taylor Fritz.

    The pressure is back on Karen Khachanov.

    Watching Aryna Sabalenka fight her emotions is fascinating.

    She - like me - has a face where no matter how hard she tries, whatever she is thinking or feeling is written all over it. She's trying so hard to contain it, whether it's frustration at her own game, that of Laura Siegemund's or just general annoyance at life.

    It's spilling over occasionally - she did a great double teapot when she missed her first set point - but she's done well to keep a lid on it so far.

    Siegemund strikes me as someone who very quickly puts a point behind her that she's lost. She walks away very quickly, turns her back on the point and starts to re-focus on what is ahead of her.

    *Sabalenka 4-6 6-2 0-0 Siegemund

    Aryna Sabalenka left the court at the end of the second set and was followed a short while later by Laura Siegemund.

    So there will be a slight delay before the decider gets under way.

  8. Khachanov holdspublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 8 July

    *Fritz 6-3 6-4 1-6 5-5 Khachanov

    Taylor Fritz was within touching distance of multiple match points. He moved quickly in to pounce on a forehand winner before Karen Khachanov blasts a forehand long for 0-30.

    However, he buries a tame forehand in the net before Karen Khachanov stretches for a forehand volley to level the game at 30-30.

    Winning the next two points to hold serve, Khachanov lets out a roar.

    Aryna Sabalenka has levelled it up.

    Excellent response from the world number one, both to dropping a set down and then to Laura Siegemund breaking back early in the second.

    It's a lengthy game but Sabalenka eventually breaks when Siegemund dumps one into the net.

    The top seed has to be the favourite from here. Siegemund has dropped a set for the first time at the Championships.

    It is so fascinating to watch Laura Siegemund. She is a rhythm buster. You very rarely see her hit the same two shots in a row.

    Sabalenka has taken a bit of pace off her returns which allowed Siegemund to nail her drop shots.

    Laura Siegemund is not the quickest between points and you can tell it is irritating Aryna Sabalenka a bit.

    However, she takes that frustration out on a vicious forehand, drive into the corner to save a game point.

    It all comes flooding back when she goes long on a set point, though.

    Fritz 6-3 6-4 1-6 5-4 Khachanov*

    Taylor Fritz has rediscovered his first serve and he's rediscovered his range.

    He seals back-to-back holds to love with an emphatic smash at the net.

  13. Khachanov holdspublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 8 July

    *Fritz 6-3 6-4 1-6 4-4 Khachanov

    That's an absolutely lovely shot - possibly the shot of the match so far.

    Karen Khachanov crouches down low to receive a cross-court backhand which just dipped over the net and responds with a cute sliced backhand drop shot for 30-0.

    A double-fault at 40-0 brings a rueful shake of the head but it's a momentary blip.

    Reid 5-7 6-4 7-6 (10-6) Gerard

    Well done, Gordon Reid!

    The 2016 champion really showed his mettle in the final set, coming back from a break down at 5-3 to take the set and the match 10-6 in a champions tie-break against Belgium's Joachim Gerard.

    It took nearly three hours but Great Britain's Reid throws his racquet in delight after coming through a tough opening match against the 2021 winner of the men's wheelchair singles.

    His reward? A quarter-final tie with fourth seed Gustavo Fernandez of Argentina.

    That game whistled by. Fritz holds to love, scarcely breaking a sweat.

    His first serve percentage, which was 38% in the third set, is a far healthier 81% in the fourth.

    What an effort from Sabalenka after some fatiguing points. It is tough to hit a winner against Siegemund because her anticipation is so good.

    These new balls are much sleeker and will be moving quicker through the air.

  17. Khachanov holdspublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 8 July

    *Fritz 6-3 6-4 1-6 3-3 Khachanov

    Eight strips of alternating dark and light grass make up each service box. One of Karen Khachanov's serves is an entire strip wide.

    With an ugly cross-court heave which clips the line, Taylor Fritz pegs the score back to 30-15, but on the next point, Khachanov toys with him like a puppet on a string. He drags the American into the net with a drop shot before nailing an inch-perfect lob. Fritz gets his racquet on it but his return balloons long.

    Khachanov holds to 15.

    Aryna Sabalenka is getting louder and louder on Centre Court and lets out a huge roar after saving a break point.

    What a point it was, too! Both players dragged this way and that before Sabalenka thumps an overhead smash beyond Laura Siegemund.

    A driven forehand then has too much for Siegemund and Sabalenka holds.

    The tiger is roaring. It will feel good for Sabalenka to be hitting winners. I can't believe she has not hit an ace in this entire match so far.

    Siegemund is under siege from Sabalenka in this game.

  20. Fritz holdspublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 8 July

    Three games in a row for Taylor Fritz.

    He holds to 30, sealing the game with an ace down the T.
