The defending champion is through to the quarter-finals after coming from a set down to beat Andrey Rublev.
But what a contest. The Russian really put the five-time Grand Slam winner through his paces there.
The three-peat is still on.

That's not a bad way to respond, is it?
Linda Noskova breaks back immediately to love and will now get another chance to serve out the set.

Andrey Rublev couldn't, could he?
Noskova 2-6 5-5 Anisimova*
Amanda Anisimova gives Linda Noskova something to think about as she bids to take us to a deciding set, crushing a backhand down the line for a winner to make it 30-30.
Noskova replies with an ace, but Anisimova finds the line with her forehand return and we're at deuce.
Double fault now, break point to the American... but she goes long. Back to deuce.
Another tremendous cross-court return earns a second break point... and this time she takes it!

Andrey Rublev is a fighter. That is great resistance.
It's like watching two middleweight boxers going face-to-face and throwing slug shots at each other. Whack, whack, whack and it's the first one to go down.
He still has to find a solution to break serve, though.
*Rublev 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 4-6 3-5 Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz pulls out that trademark disguised drop shot to go up 40-15.
He had Andrey Rublev backing off, thinking he was about to power a cross-court forehand, only to push a drop shot line.
The Spaniard holds to 15.

You have got to admire Andrey Rublev's spirit.
This may not end up going the way he hoped when he was one set to the good, but he has proven in this display that his work away from the court to help him better handle these high-stakes occasions is paying off.
He's given Carlos Alcaraz a great battle here - but the defending champion's class has shone through.
*Noskova 2-6 5-4 Anisimova
Linda Noskova breezes through another hold of serve to move within one game of levelling the match.
Amanda Anisimova, serving with new balls, ensures Noskova will have to do it on her own serve.
Rublev 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 4-6 3-4 Alcaraz*
Some going from Andrey Rublev.
He was under the cosh there but showed great fight and resistance in the face of Carlos Alcaraz.
The Spaniard is still a break up, though.

Credit to Andrey Rublev.
The Russian had to deal with some trademark Carlos Alcaraz there, with the Spaniard earning himself three break points.
But the 27-year-old saves all three.
We're on deuce.

The turn around between winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon is very short.
You have to get yourself mentally ready and engaged when a Grand Slam starts.
Alcaraz had his struggles in the first three rounds, but you don't let the mental battles get to you and he just finds ways, constantly.
*Noskova 2-6 4-3 Anisimova
Amanda Anisimova gets a fortunate net cord to move 15-30 up on Linda Noskova's serve, but the Czech player fights back with three straight points to move into a 4-2 lead.
Anisimova rattles through her service game in reply.

Andrey Rublev will be asking himself where some of these shots were earlier on in this match. You can see him kicking himself.
That was a good bit of play. He hasn't been following the ball in quite enough, in my opinion, but he knows his game better than I do!

The crowd rallied behind Andrey Rublev as he stepped up to serve at 0-40 down, sensing the Russian is just beginning to fade away here.
It appeared to do the trick as Rublev showed great fight to come through the first three break points, but its Carlos Alcaraz who receives the appreciation of the crowd as he heads to his chair.
One break in each of the past two sets is all the 22-year-old has needed to turn this around. You certainly wouldn’t back against him seeing this out from here.
*Rublev 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 4-6 2-4 Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz extends his lead with ease, holding to love for the second time this set.
He's only lost two points on his serve in three games this set.
*Noskova 2-6 3-2 Anisimova
As you were on Court One, a couple of holds of serve since our last update so Linda Noskova still leads by a break in set two after dropping the first.

There has been one lull per set for Andrey Rublev.
The mistakes are coming like buses aren't they? You wait for one and then boom, boom boom. Error, error, error all in the same game.
Rublev 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 4-6 2-3 Alcaraz*
He's done it!
After letting three break points pass him by, Carlos Alcaraz breaks with the fourth time of asking.
Andrey Rublev's serve just deserted him in that game.
