Three straight breaks to start this match.

All very odd. It's Clara Tauson turn to show her power this time but, at the change of ends, she's still not happy about the conditions.

Iga Swiatek double faults twice more. She needs to get that under control but first, she's got to try and get back on serve again.

Sinner normally makes it look so easy and picks up his rhythm from the word go. These first few games have not been easy for him.

Great acceleration from Dimitrov getting his forehand into play.

A perfect start for Grigor Dimitrov. Jannik Sinner is going into the backhand side a little bit too much.

Let's be honest, both men have had good draws to get to this fourth round. There hasn't really been a natural grass-courter in any of their three previous matches.

Here's a stat for you. Remember that Jannik Sinner has equalled a 53-year-old record in only dropping 17 games at this stage of the tournament? (see 18:49)

Well, of the seven men to drop the fewest games - between 27 and 32 - before the quarter-final stage (Djokovic, Federer and Murray among them), NONE of them have gone on to win the tournament those years.

There's a thing called peaking too early...

Anyway, Jannik Sinner puts a backhand winner away to get himself on the board and put such thoughts to the back of his mind.

I think this match-up is a fascinating one in terms of the game styles.

Iga Swiatek is obviously the player who is really experienced. If you are going to beat Swiatek, particularly on grass, it is the big striking power games that seem to get the job done, and Clara Tauson has plenty of that.

Back on serve - that didn't take long.

Clara Tauson's advantage lasts all of one game as Iga Swiatek shows what she can do.

The eighth seed attacks the second serve and, from there, takes over with some powerful groundstrokes.

Tauson complains about the fact she's slipping on the grass but I'm not sure what the umpire is meant to do about that.

Everybody stay calm! Jannik Sinner has been broken!

For the first time at SW19 this week, Sinner is down a break. Well done Grigor Dimitrov.

This is not the Jannik Sinner of Wimbledon 2025 week one. He's finding the net with the regularity of Harry Kane.

In fairness a lot of the errors are being forced by Grigor Dimitrov's excellent start. A comfortable hold to 15 for the Bulgarian, who has begun brilliantly.

Well, that's one way to start!

Clara Tauson chose to receive and shows exactly why as she breaks Iga Swiatek to love.

A couple of double faults don't help Swiatek but there are also some rasping forehands from Tauson.

An early statement of intent from the Dane.

I'm so looking forward to this one.

In that first [service] game, Grigor Dimitrov was really trying to attack the forehand side and going after his first serve. He has already hit a serve at 141mph.

He has to go after it, he has to be brave and bold, and he has to attack Jannik Sinner's forehand side. Although all of this is easier said than done.

What a start for the veteran!

Jannik Sinner dumps a volley into the net and the world number one's proud record of not being broken this tournament bites the dust just minutes into this last-16 tie.

Next up on Court One, it's former world number one Iga Swiatek up against 23rd seed Clara Tauson of Denmark.

Swiatek is a five-time Grand Slam champion but has only made it to the quarter-finals at the All England Club once.

Can the Pole double her tally this evening? She's goes in as favourite but Tauson has already beaten former champion Elena Rybakina so will be full of confidence.

A promising start for Dimitrov. If he can change things up a bit and finish points at the net, that's perhaps where he can gain an advantage.

Sinner has not been broken in the Championship so far. This could be an early breakthrough.

If you're a casual tennis fan, the name Grigor Dimitrov is probably most famous, in this country anyway, for upsetting Andy Murray in the 2014 Wimbledon quarter-finals.

Victory this evening would be an even larger shock - and he's made a decent start, 15-30 up on the Sinner serve.

Oh and a Sinner double fault hands Dimitrov two break points. The Italian has not been broken at all during these Championships...

Trying to think of something new to say about Jannik Sinner is genuinely quite difficult.

He has been in imperious form at these Championships.

This is, however, the first time he is facing a seeded player at SW19 this year.

Grigor Dimitrov has not had the greatest year when it comes to the majors, having to retire injured in both France and Australia.

The long legs of Jannik Sinner go in opposite directions as he's left grounded trying to reach a Dimitrov forehand out wide.

The 34-year-old is made to work pretty hard for that opening service hold - but hold he does, thanks to a sliding backhand volley winner at the net.

Grigor Dimitrov falls 0-30 in his opening service game, behind the 8-ball early doors.

Three huge serves turn things around but the Bulgarian is still taken to deuce...

World number 10 Ben Shelton speaking on court one after his fourth-round win: "It was difficult. I feel like every time I play Lorenzo Sonego, every time I need a big point he comes out with a highlight shot. Maybe it's the same vice-versa as well. It was a lot of fun.

"I'm getting very comfortable out here on court one, I love playing in front of you guys. I was told that the crowds here at Wimbledon, before I came over here for the first time, were a bit quieter but I've got to say I didn't feel that today."

On what he was telling himself before the final game: "I don't want to play another tie-breaker! I didn't want to do it, especially against a guy who is serving the way he is. Usually you don't get the same chance twice, so I wanted to make sure I capitalised on the first one at 15-40.

"I'm happy with the way I played that last game. I felt like that was my best tennis, my best returning, and that's what I'm going to need to continue in this tournament. For me to end the match with that game, it gives me a lot of confidence moving forward."

On his grass-court tennis style and his inspiration for it: "Definitely my dad. He was in the round of 16 here 31 years ago, give or take. He loved a serve and volley.

"He had a big serve, he came forward all the time and he would like to see me come forward more than I am. My argument is that I think I'm better than him from the baseline. He inspires the way that I play on grass."

A summation of those stats we spoke of.

Superb. Sensational. Superior. Sinner.

Can Dimitrov dent them? We're about to find out on Centre.

Talking of consistency… at 34 – 11 years Sinner’s senior – Grigor Dimitrov is competing in his 58th consecutive Grand Slam, the longest such streak of any active player and fifth longest in history.

But there are signs the Bulgarian bunny’s batteries are starting to run out – he’s retired injured in all four of his past Slams dating back to this stage in SW19 last year against Daniil Medvedev.

He’s looked good so far here, dropping just one set, but this test will be up a level and then some, against a man he’s taken only one set from in four successive head-to-head defeats.

His best Wimbledon run was to the semi-finals back in 2014, losing to Novak Djokovic after stunning Andy Murray in the quarters – can he roll back the years and produce another upset?
