You can see the relief on Iga Swiatek's face! She has her face in her towel and she is shedding a few tears. It was a very intense match.

After losing that second set, she actually went off court. The moment it turned was in the very first game of the third set, which saw Swiatek have to save four break points. It was absolutely pivotal and vital because she was really losing the momentum of this match.

What a point that was from both women - covering every inch of the court and using all the angles.

Taylor Townsend mishits a forehand and then a backhand and Iga Swiatek has two chances to break again.

After a lengthy rally, Swiatek opens up the court before putting the decisive forehand away.

Defending champion Swiatek will now serve for the match.

British number two Katie Boulter, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live following her straight-set defeat by Italy's Tyra Grant: "It was obviously a tough day at the office for me. She played extremely well and disrupted my rhythm very well. I definitely could have played better so I've got quite a few things to work on. It obviously hurts more here at home.

"This year has been about building back up, getting better again and trying to get myself back to where I was after a disappointing year last year. If this wasn't Wimbledon, it probably wouldn't mean as much, but it is and unfortunately that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. I've got to deal with that.

"It is difficult to think about my game as a whole too much. I need to go away and work on focusing more on the positives of this year. Ultimately my ranking is going back up again, but I want to be performing better in these weeks.

"I feel like I have too much to give to ultimately be losing these matches. I deserve to give back more to the home crowd, but unfortunately today I didn't."

At 15-30, Iga Swiatek gets a big slice of luck as a backhand clips the net and drops agonisingly onto Taylor Townsend's side.

Townsend screams in celebration.

Fourth seed Ben Shelton is going to have to go the distance on court two.

That's just one of the rare occasions where Taylor Townsend hasn't done enough on her legs to get herself in position to play her slice. She was really pegged back to the baseline, she was reaching for the ball rather than moving her feet and getting up to it.

That's what got her into real danger of that break of serve.

Iga Swiatek has a chance now as Taylor Townsend is forced into a mistake and the Polish third seed has a spring in her step as she walks back to the baseline at 0-30.

The defending champion showed her quality there.
