    Since her first Grand Slam main draw appearance in 2018, Harriet Dart has only made it to the third round once. That was here at Wimbledon in 2019.

    It's been slim pickings otherwise but Dart feels energised by making it this far again.

    "I'm super excited to be back in the third round," she said.

    "It's been a really long time so to be back feels like a real hurdle that I’ve jumped through."

  3. Fastest ever Wimbledon servepublished at 12:51 British Summer Time 6 July

    *Shapovalov 2-3 Shelton

    I'll be heading over to Court One shortly as American Ben Shelton and Canadian Denis Shapovalov get us under way.

    You may have seen that 14th seed Shelton hit an incredible 153mph serve during his second round win over Lloyd Harris.

    That serve has gone down as the fastest in Wimbledon history!

    You wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that one.

    The covers are indeed off and that means we may not be far away from British number two Harriet Dart emerging on court two to play Wang Xinyu of China.

    A place in the fourth round is at stake.

    We know Emma Raducanu dreamt of this moment, but is this the last time we'll see Andy Murray's name up on the board?

    They're teaming up in the mixed doubles later on today on Court One.

    It is quite surreal walking around the grounds here. You see numerous celebs, former players and current players having a walk around.

    American Taylor Fritz just walked past me looking like he’s gearing up for a bit of practice.

  14. 'Raducanu will be under pressure in her next match'published at 12:22 British Summer Time 6 July

    Naomi Broady
    British player on BBC TV

    She [Emma Raducanu] will have a lot more pressure in her next match so it's not as if she is going to sustain that level of tennis until the end of the tournament but if she can, I think she's certainly in with a shot.

    Lulu Sun [Raducanu's next opponent] is going to be a tricky one, that's where the pressure lies. After that, the pressure is almost on the other players to beat Emma but Lulu Sun is the match that should be won, if you like, and those are always the dangerous ones when you think you should win the match.

    Lulu came through qualifying, she's left-handed, very tricky, very awkward and it will be a different type of ball coming at her than from the racquet of Maria Sakkari.

    A new name for Henman Hill? It's fairly obvious. A steep, sloping structure that lies dormant for most of the year but erupts when things really heat up: Radu-cano.

    Very good, Tim. Does anyone have any suggestions for Jack Draper or Sonay Kartal?

    Draper's Dune perhaps? Kartal's Cliff? I'm sure you lot can do better so let us know what you'd go with using the details above.

    Now that the Murray Mound has become the Murray Mausoleum perhaps we should have the Raducanu Ridge, the Harriet Hill or Norrie Knoll?

    You have to admire the patience of some people!

    Despite no play before 12:30 BST, the stand on court 18 is practically full with people using their brollies as shelter.

    Sit tight, we’ll get there eventually!
