    Seconds before Jannik Sinner and Miomir Kecmanovic walked out, there was a commotion close to our Centre Court commentary box.

    I dashed out to see what the fuss was about. We had another marriage proposal!

    Paul Rowan was down on one knee when I got there, asking girlfriend Amy if she'd be his wife.

    A security guard was primed to be the photographer, while hundreds of fans are cheered as they watched on. Luckily for Paul, Amy said 'yes'.

    So why did he decide to propose here? "Yes, tell me too," inquires a giggling Amy.

    "There is no better place really is there," Paul says. "The wet weather ruined what I was going to do on the Hill so when we were in here I thought 'this is the time'."

    The Hampshire couple kindly posed for a photo, despite Amy worrying she had make-up smeared over her face after some tears of joy.

    "Oh wait," says Paul. "Can you wait to put on the live feed until we've told the kids?"

    No problem. The coast is clear... please join in a toast to the happy couple!
