Key events
A major shock? Or the realisation that Iga Swiatek just can’t do grasscourt tennis – like an Ivan Lendl of her day?
Saturday was not a good day for plucky Brits, sadly.
Saturday was all about Andy Murray, Britain’s greatest ever, unless you can remember Fred Perry.
It’s only just stopped raining in Wimbledon but there is the hope that the outside courts will see some action quite soon.

Preamble
Welcome to Middle Sunday coverage of the goings-on at SW19, where after that sad, sudden farewell to Andy Murray it’s back to the action, where the round of 16 is upon us. Later on, Emma Radacanu, with that dodgy wrist, will take on Lulu Sun, the New Zealander, and the women’s draw is dominated by the Americans, with Coco Gauff on the stage, against Emma Navarro. We begin with Spain’s Paula Badosa against Croatia’s Donna Vekic. In the men’s draw it’s the big guns in action with Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and then later a big clash between Grigor Dimitrov and Danniil Medvedev.
That and all the news. Keep it here.
