Raducanu v Vondroussova
Boulter v LL Sierra
Kartal v Tomova
certainly a huge number of upsets already-Zverev and Gauff the biggest casualties (laterally not too much of a fight from Gauff)
Great win for Norrie not so long ago over 12th seed Tiafoe in 4- a strong performance - well done! Sonay Kartal through comfortably. As expected Alcaraz too strong for Oliver Tarvet-2 sets down.
Boulter got back into the match - now a tie-break for the 1st set.
Both have dropped serve ...
Katie had set point at *6-4 but dropped her serve.
Over to Foxtrot Oscar Sierra ...
;)
6-6* at the change of ends.
7-6* as Sierra now drops her serve. Katie has 2 goes to nail it.
*7-7
:facepalm:
*8-7 Sierra to serve to stay in the set.
... and finally! GBR 1, ARG 0
Borges d Billy Harris in 3 sets.
Sierra d Boulter, taking the 3rd set 6'1.
Alcaraz d Tarvet.
certanly disappointing with Katie, likely a bit of a let down. pity for Billy Harris but Borges is a top 40 player.
A good performance from Emma putting out the 2023 champion Vondrousova (who won in Berlin last week)6-3,6-3. was expecting a tougher match ,not the kindest of draws though the no1 seed Sabalenka awaits. seeds 2 to 5 all out mind you after Paolini's exit to in 3 to Rakhimova.
it will be Bellucci next for cameron who put out Lehecka in straights, in an interesting match up Fonesca got the better of Brooksby 6-4,5-7,6-2,6-4.
What a disappointment as Jack goes down to Cilic 6-4,6-3,1-6,6-4. potentially it was a tough match(despite the ranking) and the Croatian has come back from adversity. An explosive performance but still Draper had a bit of a slow start and could not quite find the level to maintain the momentum in the 4th. Tommy Paul out to Ofner 7-5 in the 4th though.
Much as expected for Dan really but a blow as he was bagelled in a third , a strong serving display from Djokovic though. Sinner sailed through against Vukic 6-1,6-1,6-3. Iga Swiatek avoided the upsets in coming from behind to beat McNally 5-7,6-2,6-1.

Emma third on Centre.
Sonay first on Court 1
Cameron second on Court 1
Fantastic turnaround by Sonay Kartal to come from 0-3 to winning the set 6'4
Fingers crossed Sonay can keep up the level and Parry doesn't find hers!
Sonay Kartal through to R4 at Wimbledon after a stunning win over Diane Parry.
6'4, 6'2.
Cam Norrie now on Court 1 against Mattia Bellucci.
Fritz keep diving and apparently it is 3rd time same elbow is bleeding and need medical timeout treatment.
Hopefully Norrie hold out to win set.
Norrie managed to hold on and won 1st set. Defo have trouble against Italian.
Norrie trailed Bellucci by 0-2 before he got on the board, eventually broke back and they're now in a tie-break for the first set.
At the change of ends it's Norrie with the mini-break and Bellucci serving:-
*2-4
*3-4
3-5* Norrie holds - needs to keep holding.
4-5* he didn't
*5-5 but Bellucci does
*5-6 Norrie breaks and earns his first set point.
5-7*
Well played Cam! That's the 1st set in the bag.
Well done Sonay :clap: :clap:
Cam won. Well done. :clap:
Emma lost 6-7 4-6 to Sabalenka but Emma did play extremely well.
certainly an impressive display from Emma with a number of great shots, a few errors at crucial times mind you though obviously Sabalenka also stepped up. The 2nd set was a bit frustrating -slipped away as at one stage Emma had a bp for 5-1.
still positive overall!
After a bit of a slow Norrie controlled proceedings with Bellucci, will now meet Jarry in the last 16 who get the better of Fonesca in 4. Sonay came back strongly against Diane Parry and will now face Pavlyuchenkova who get the better of Oaska 6-4 in the 3rd.
After a strong start Alcaraz was tested but had too much for Struff winning 6-4 in the 4th.
Well done to Sonay Kartal and Cameron Norrie. I watched Kartal trying to qualify last year and, if she wins her next match, she'll become the new British number one. What a year she's had and I'm so pleased for her.
Sonay is first on Centre Court at 1.30 Sunday. Cameron is 2nd on Court 1.
oop for Sunday - h ttps://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/scores/schedule/schedule14.html
Pavs took the first set against Kartal 7'6(3). Close fought match! Sonay 55 points, Pav 57
On serve 1-1 so far in the 2nd set.
Norrie has just broken Jarry and will serve for the 1st set at *5-3 ...
... and duly notches up that set for 1-0
unfortunately Sonay misses out 7-6,6-4. Had some chances but not to be,whilst Pavs has similar ranking very experienced. A good start from Cameron, now 5 all in 2nd.
Norrie v Jarry into a tie-break for the 2nd set.
Only 1 break point opportunity so far per player and neither were able to take it.
Jarry to serve first:
*1-0
1-1*
2-1* Oops, Jarry has the first mini-break.
*2-2 As you were ...
*2-3 Mini-break to Cam
2-4* And hold, 1 more serve to come for Cam after the change of ends
2-5* That'll do nicely ... 2 more points please for the set.
*3-5
*4-5 Cam must now hold both his serves to stop the Jarry resurgence
4-6*
4-7*
Well held Cameron Norrie - now leads 2 sets to 0!
:tennis:
Going with serve in the 3rd set - Jarry to serve next at *3-4 after the change of ends.
Tie-break, Cam serving first:
*1-0
1-1*
1-2* Jarry is serving bombs! 15 Aces so far in the 3rd set.
*2-2
*3-2 Cam could do with a break now ...
4-2* And he gets a vital break. Another after the change of ends would be useful ...
4-3*
*5-3
*5-4 DF Norrie - hands back the mini-break
5-5*
6-5* Norrie has a match point after a stunning forehand brings up a mini-break
*6-6 Ooops!
*6-7 Jarry gets a double-break and will serve for the 3rd set. Expect an Ace!
7-7* DF from Jarry.
7-8* 2nd set point for Jarry.
Jarry takes the 3rd set!!!
Cam will have to fight again for the 4th set.
Jarry has just served his 35th Ace of the match during his hold of the first game of the 4th set.
cameron seemed to have the match in his grasp but let Jarry back in, oh well hopefully starts 4th strongly- can expect a challenge mind you.
I think if Pavlyuchenkova hadn't gotten fired up by that ridiculous bad call then Sonay would have won.
Tie break for the 4th set.
Jarry serving first:
*1-0
2-0* Cam dropped his
2-1*
*2-2
*2-3 Jarry dropped both
2-4* hold from Cam. Needs to hang on in for another 3 points.
3-4* Back on serve ...
*4-4
*5-4
5-5*
6-5* Set point Jarry and he has 2 serves
*7-5 Jarry takes the 4th set and we're into a deciding 5th
Cam Norrie finally got over the line, winning the 5th set 6'3.
Through to the Quarter-Finals where he'll meet the winner of Alcaraz v Rublev.
The Russian has taken the 1st set on a tie-break so that match could go on for some time.
Suspect Cam will want a 'day-off' tomorrow to recoup energy before facing either of them!
Good to see him back healthy and competitive again after a couple of years on/off health issues.
Great to see Cameron in a rich vein of form, could have won it more decisively but Jarry made it tough in a bit of a dramatic match! Certainly stepped up in the decider-well done! :swingin: Alcaraz levelled with Rublev and now takes 3rd 6-4 so would seem to be in the acendancy.
Alcaraz d Rublev 3-1.
The bottom half QF's are:-
Norrie v Alcaraz[2]
Khachanov[17] v Fritz[5]
Well done Cameron. :cheer:
Guaranteed a Brit in the Men's Doubles semis, as Cash/Glasspool will face Patten/Heliovaara in the quarters.
Shame they are meeting so early.
Cameron 2nd on Centre on Tuesday.

Awful for Grigor Dimitrov ... leading 2-0 against Jannik Sinner ...
... and then just as he held serve for 2-2 in the 3rd set he hurt a pectoral muscle and has had to retire.
Sinner through to the Quarter Final 3'6, 5'7, 2-2 W/O.
yes real pity for Dimi, need to see but may be out for a while. Sinner was finding it very tricky (though not finding best form), cannot be sure he would not have extended the match otherwise but would have been tough situation. Djokovic had poor start and De Minaur took full advantage but Novak was able to turn it around 1-6,6-4,6-4,6-4. seemed to be an issue in some of the longer rallies mind you. Alex though unable to capitalse on 4-1 lead in 4th. Anyway Sinner will now face Shelton and Djokovic Cobolli (who ended Cilic's hopes in 4 sets).
Mirra Andreeva looking like a possible contender as she eased pasts Navarro 6-2,6-3 and will now face Bencic who is in her first Wimbledon quarter.
So sad last night. Poor Dimitrov.
Siegemund has taken the 1st set 6'4 against Sabalenka.
The Russian is now 5'2 up in the 2nd with the German to serve next to stay in the set.
Fritz is 2-1 sets up on Khachanov.
