  1. Federer 4-6 1-0 Nishikori*

    Federer, now 37, doesn't want to do too much running so he makes Nishikori do his running instead.

    0-30.

    Make that 0-40.

    Three more break points.

  2. Federer 4-6 1-0 Nishikori*

    Nishikori, perhaps still basking in the glow of taking the first set from the Swiss, drops his intensity as Federer holds with a delicate volley.

  3. *Federer 4-6 0-0 Nishikori

    Federer finds the net with the first point on his serve before Nishikori does the same looking for a backhand winner.

    15-15.

  4. *Federer 4-6 Nishikori

    That was only the second set Federer has dropped at this tournament since the first set of his first match against Lloyd Harris.

    You can blame rustiness for that, but what can you blame for this?

  5. Game and first set Nishikori

    Federer 4-6 Nishikori

    A looping forehand deceives Federer and that, my friends, is that.

    Now then Kei - what was that?

    Nishikori is in control of the game and the point, but then goes wild with a forehand.

  7. Federer 4-5 Nishikori*

    Great hitting from Nishikori - he doesn't let his opponent get on top of him in the first rally and forces the error.

    He then hits Fed with a serve-and-volley winner.

    30-0.

  8. Bautista Agut sets up Djokovic semi-final

    Pella 5-7 4-6 6-3 3-6 Bautista Agut

    What a battle it was on Court One.

    But it's 23rd seed Roberto Bautista Agut who, at the age of 31, sets up the biggest match of his career.

    Federer, thanks to two aces en route, holds easily.

    Now what Roger?

  10. 'A really good fight' - Bautista Agut

    Pella 5-7 4-6 6-3 3-6 Bautista Agut

    Roberto Bautista Agut said after his win:

    "It was a really good fight. He's a really good player. Every match is really difficult here, every opponent gives everything on the court.

    "I'm enjoying playing on these courts. I've enjoyed every match I've played."

    On his semi-final opponent Novak Djokovic:

    "Novak is the number one in the world and he's playing really well on grass.

    "I'll have to play really good tennis if I want to beat him."

    Huge. Absolutely huge.

  12. *Federer 3-4 Nishikori

    Federer pulls it to deuce in textbook fashion - pouncing on the ball for a backhand winner down the line.

    Nishikori - not known for his pacy serves - fires down an ace.

    Timely.

  13. *Federer 3-4 Nishikori

    That's a great backhand slice feint from Nishikori.

    30-15 before an excellent backhand gets the better of his highly-decorated opponent.

    40-15.

  14. game, set and match

    Game, set and match - Bautista Agut

    Pella 5-7 4-6 6-3 3-6 Bautista Agut

    He was the only player in the men's singles draw yet to drop a set.

    Roberto Bautista Agut may have lost that record, but he has just bettered his best-ever Grand Slam result to set up a Wimbledon semi-final against world number one Novak Djokovic.

    Delivering forehand winner after forehand winner, Bautista Agut eventually overpowered Guido Pella in a deserved victory against a resilient opponent.

    Pella defeated some big grass court names on his way to the quarter-finals, but after 16 hours of tennis - three of which were contested today - he perhaps didn't have enough left in the tank to match a relentless Bautista Agut.

  15. *Federer 3-4 Nishikori

    Brutal hitting - flat and fast which Federer comes out on top of.

    RF holds to love.

    Nishikori eased off a little there, tbf.

    This next service game is a crucial one to hold for the eighth seed.

  16. Williams/Murray 3-6 6-4 2-6 Melichar/Soares

    Chris Bradnam
    BBC Sport commentator at Wimbledon

    Melichar and Soares played magnificently well. They fitted so well together.

    It's remarkable to think Murray is back playing as well as he did.

  17. *Federer 2-4 Nishikori

    Nishikori keep his head above water before Federer loses a challenge.

    Advantage to the Japanese player who then holds as Federer plants a single-handed forehand wide.

  18. Pella 5-7 4-6 6-3 3-5 Bautista Agut*

    Guido Pella holds serve to force Roberto Bautista Agut to serve for the forth set - and the match.

    A huge, huge game now for the Spaniard.

  19. Williams/Murray 3-6 6-4 2-6 Melichar/Soares

    Will we see Serena and Andy team up again?

    Let's hope so.

    This partnership feels too exciting to not have a second outing...

  20. 'A special moment'

    Williams/Murray 3-6 6-4 2-6 Melichar/Soares

    Chanda Rubin
    American former world number six at Wimbledon

    There are some moments you know are just special. That certainly applies to Andy Murray and Serena Williams playing mixed doubles together. We don't know if we will see this pairing again.

    Melichar and Soares played such good doubles in crucial moments.
