I’m not surprised Andreeva is making such short work of Navarro; she is still exploring her talent, whereas Navarro has, I think, reached the limits of hers. If you’d asked me before the tournament whether I thought Andreeva could win it, I’d probably have said no, but the way things are going, I now think she’s a really good chance. She breaks for 2-1 in set two, and it’s not easy to see a way she loses from here.

Shelton smashes an ace down the middle to make it 2-1 with serve in the fourth. Remember the American is 2-1 in sets.
Share
Andreeva is very much in control here, breaking Navarro at the first time of asking in the second. There is a long rally – and she gets a bit of luck – but Andreeva knocks the ball into space to win.
Share
Andreeva is moving around the court superbly, sends a drop shot over that Navarro cannot return. Despite looking comfortable, Navarro drags the game to Deuce, then Andreeva loops one out to give the advantage to the American. She need not worry as the next serve is returned to the net. Two more fine serves win the set for Andreeva, 6-2.

Shelton greets winning the first point against serve with a roar. He is at his best when the pressure is on. He follows it up with a decent serve but Sonego gets into a decent shape to whack one past him down the line, only to send it very long. An incredible backhand volley from Shelton when moving backwards makes it 3-0. Sonego sends one long immediately after and this is only going one way. Shelton takes the tie-break 7-1 and the set 7-6 to go 2-1 up.

And we are heading into a tie-break in the third. Shelton powers a forehand into space and Sonego does not even bother to go after it.

Andreeva breaks again! She is playing some lovely tennis and Navarro is struggling with it, sending a backhand into the bottom of the net. 4-1 in the first to Andreeva.

It was a little nervous but Sonego eventually holds to lump the pressure back on Shelton. The American is overzealous with a backhand and is once again serving to stay in the set.
Share
Shelton is not giving up the set, levelling things at 5-5 by winning the game to love. He also completes the win with an ace.
Share
Andreeva is the first to break. She perfectly sends a backhand down the line into space as Navarro’s head drops. 2-1 in the first.
Share
Sonego then does well to hold with some big serves. Completing the job with an ace down the middle. Shelton is serving to stay in the set.
Share
Sonego breaks back! Shelton sends a backhand volley long to level things at 4-4 in the third and 1-1 in sets.
Share
Andreeva v Navarro has begun! Navarro is first up and looks set for a straightforward hold until a fightback takes us to deuce. Andreeva miscues a backhand from the baseline, top edging it wide and then sends one into the net to give Navarro the hold.
Share
Shelton breaks in the third! Sonego plays some tired looking shots and Shelton gleefully accepts the gifts, eventually getting the break when Sonego volleys meekly into the net. 4-3 to Shelton in the third.

The defending Wimbledon men’s doubles champion has been handed the largest fine so far at this year’s championships after allegedly verbally abusing a member of staff.

Djokovic: “I did not have many solutions but I reset myself in the second. It was a very tough game. It was a lot of cat and mouse play, he is possibly the quickest player on the tour. He exposes all your weakness, if you are not feeling it. I hung in tough to win it.
“I loving winning in straight sets but on days like this, as you progress, the matches are only going to get tougher. He is very tough on this surface, I was slightly nervous coming into this match. It was a very difficult encounter, challenging moments for me. I wish I had Federer’s serve and volley touch, that would help. I can’t complain, I still have to run a lot. I tried to mix it up as I didn’t feel the ball well but I started to feel it as the game went on.”
Share
Shelton v Sonego is where it is at now. It is 1-1 in sets and Sonego has just gone 2-1 in the third.
Share
Djokovic certainly enjoyed this one, knowing it took plenty of effort and a strong mentality to see off his challenge. He does his pumping it up ritual to his fans but mainly for his kids.

Novak Djokovic beats Alex De Minaur (1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4)
It was certainly not peak Djokovic but he has eventually got the job done. Amid all there errors, there has been plenty of grit and gritting of teeth to help him through. He breezes into a 30-0 lead in the final game, and then comes to the net for an open court forehand winner. The job is completed with ease.

The pressure is on De Minaur to hold here. A smash from the Australian at the net makes it 15-15 but he miscues soon after to give Djokovic a sense of victory, which is heightened when De Minaur whacks one into the net. Two Break Points … but Djokovic one needs one. Djokovic to serve for the match.
Share
The momentum is back with Djokovic, who is 2-1 up in sets. The Serb wins the first two points as he looks to hold to level the fourth set. He forces De Minaur to chase the ball around and he can only loop a backhand long from the baseline. Djokovic makes it 4-4 in the fourth when De Minaur fails to return a serve down the middle.
Share
Djokovic gets two Break Points. This feels significant. De Minaur composes himself and sends his first serve into the net. Things get better for the Australian as a Djokovic backhand head back at an obtuse angle and out and then another long. We are at Deuce again. Djokovic gets the advantage and then moves De Minaur all over the court before hitting a forehand into space. We are back on serve.
Share
Samsonova beats Bouzas Maneiro. 7-5, 7-5
It is a straight sets victory for Samsonova but it was never easy against Bouzas Maneiro.
Share
Samsonova whacks a forehand into space and it is too quick for Bouzas Maneiro to get the advantage and then wins the game with an easy smash at the net. It is 6-5 in the second to Samonova. Bouzas Maneiro is once again serving to save the match.

Djokovic is taken to Deuce on his service game. De Minaur gets the advantage but caressed volley takes us back to square one. The Australian pings a backhand wide and Djokovic does not need any more encouragement to hold. 4-2 in the fourth.
Share
Bouzas Maneiro, serving to save the match, double faults to make it 0-30 to Samsonova with the score at 5-4. She need not worry, as things are soon level and completes the turnaround to level the second set at 5-5.
Share
Djokovic gives himself some false hope by winning the first point of the game but De Minaur is aggressive in response and the Serb cannot cope with it. He brings Djokovic to the net but he can’t reach the volley and it trickles off the racket. 4-1 to De Minaur.
Share
Djokovic pulls himself to get for his next service game and wins it to love. De Minaur with the break lead in the fourth, might be conserving his energy for his own serves.
Share
Samsonova gets to a 4-3 lead against Bouzas Maneiro in the second and it is all going with serve.
Share
De Minaur has the momentum and Djokovic is back to looking irritated with himself. When in control of the game, the Australian double faults, not that he should worry as Djokovic pings one long from the baseline to gift the hold.
Share
Djokovic double faults first up, something he blames on the sun. De Minaur then hits a decent winner to put the pressure on Djokovic, which is further increased when Australian gets the better in a rally of volleys. Djokovic just about stays in the game when his latest volley clips the top of the net and sheepishly falls on the other side. But he is broken again when a timid backhand breezes into the net.
Share
Sonego is serving for the first set against Shelton. He gets to Set Point but sends one long to give Shelton a sniff when it comes to Deuce. The vested American whacks a backhand well wide but a volley at the net means we start again. It gets to a fourth Deuce, at which point Sonego puts Shelton out of his misery, taking the opener 6-3.
Share
It is a tense opener service game from De Minaur in the fourth set. Djokovic takes him to Deuce, and he is sweating when the Serb had the advantage and De Minaur’s volley just kisses the baseline. The Australian then has a chance to hold but it ends with him smashing a hot dog into his own thigh. He need not worry, completing the hold soon after.

It all starts very smoothly for Djokovic as he takes the first couple of points but, as has been typical today, he randomly sends one needlessly into the net. Djokovic is making a lot of unforced errors, following up by sending one impressively long for no reason. When De Minaur makes a mistake of his own, Djokovic shouts and pumps his fist ahead of Set Point. After a very long rally, Djokovic event seals the third set to go 2-1 up.
Share
Djokovic makes 0-30, sand though he then makes a mess of a drop he oughtn’t to have hit a fine forehand to the corner allows him to glance away the eventuating volley, raising two break points in the process. De Minaur saves the first, but going inside-out on the forehand, he thwacks wide, and at 1-1 5-4, Djokovic will now serve for the third set. But I’m off for a break, so here’s Will Unwin to bring it to you.
