    Absolutely no doubt that Taylor Townsend raised her game in that second set - she put so much pressure on Iga Swiatek’s serve.

    But my word, was that messy from Swiatek. She was trying to hit her way out of trouble and it was just not happening.

    No wonder she’s gone straight off court after that set.

    *Dzumhur 6-3 2-6 2-5 Fery

    After breaking Damir Dzumhur again, Arthur Fery finds himself 15-40 down on his own serve - but it's a gutsy hold from the Briton.

    He's one game away from a two sets to one lead.

    Townsend 1-6 6-2 0-0 Swiatek*

    Iga Swiatek prods a backhand long down the line to gift two set points for Taylor Townsend.

    Taylor Townsend can't make them count as she is forced into two errors by Swiatek.

    The American is not deterred as she brings up a third set point with a volley at the net, before sealing it with an ace.

    It's game on on Centre Court and the crowd are loving every minute of it.

    *Townsend 1-6 5-2 Swiatek

    Iga Swiatek, serving to stay in the second set, comes through to hold.

    Some fancy stats on the TV coverage show Swiatek's forehand quality, which is judged on speed, spin, depth and width, has dropped significantly in this second set.

    One-third of the mountain climbed, as Jacob Fearnley wins the third set to reduce his deficit to two sets to one against American Alex Michelsen.

    Townsend 1-6 5-1 Swiatek*

    Iga Swiatek has the answer when Taylor Townsend comes into the net with a backhand winner across court.

    We saw that a lot in the first set but Townsend has been much better at picking her spots to advance in the second set.

    With the American at the net once more, Swiatek can't find a way past this time and she is now one game away from levelling this match.

  9. Fery broken back in third setpublished at 14:37 BST 30 June

    *Dzumhur 6-3 2-6 2-3 Fery

    Former British number one John Lloyd, commentating on Arthur Fery at Queen's a couple of weeks ago, predicted a bright future for him.

    "I see no reason why he can't be top 50," he said. "He's quick, nasty to play against, he moves well, isn't afraid to change it up with the slice and he likes the big stage."

    Fery beat 20th seed Alexei Popyrin in the first round at Wimbledon last year before losing in round two.

    His run of nine straight games against Damir Dzumhur has come to an end - and worse news, he's been broken so he's back on serve in set three.

  10. Swiatek holdspublished at 14:35 BST 30 June

    *Townsend 1-6 4-1 Swiatek

    There's a glimpse of the Iga Swiatek that has won six Grand Slam titles as a perfectly placed forehand leaves Taylor Townsend no chance.

    Townsend responds with a glorious forehand winner across court, but Swiatek fights back to hold and get on the board in this second set.

    Word of a British resurgence is beginning to spread as more and more people begin to flock to courts 15 and 16.

    Jacob Fearnley has control of his must-win third set, while Arthur Fery is a break up in the third after levelling his match against Damir Dzumhur.

    Fery has just had a medical timeout but has served his way to a 3-0 lead.

    The home players are fighting back.

    Townsend 1-6 4-0 Swiatek*

    The inconsistencies which have sneaked into Iga Swiatek's game over the past 18 months are on full display in this second set as she struggles to find her rhythm.

    Taylor Townsend gets to 40-0 before holding to love as Swiatek goes wide for her 10th unforced error inside four games.

  13. 'De Minaur needs a breakthrough at some stage'published at 14:30 BST 30 June

    De Minaur 7-6 (7-5) 6-1 6-0 Burruchaga

    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It was a sticky over-an-hour first set between Alex de Minaur and Roman Andres Burruchaga, but the second and third sets took just 40 minutes.

    Alex de Minaur got his eye in. He is a very good grass court player, I think this surface suits him. I have also tipped him as a player who is going to go a long way in this really open tournament this year.

    He has constantly been stopped at the quarter-final stage but he is sixth in the world now. He needs a breakthrough at some stage for himself and for his career - and this is the perfect tournament.

    Kokkinakis 6-4 0-0 Bublik*

    Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis, who earned a spot in the main draw courtesy of a protected ranking, has taken the first set against 10th seed Alexander Bublik.

    Kokkinakis, who's never gone beyond the second round in the singles at Wimbledon, broke to 15 in the third game and had three sets points at 5-3 before eventually clinching the set 6-4 at the fifth time of asking.

    Bublik also went out in the first round of the French Open.

    You could feel that second double fault coming for Swiatek. She takes her time between points but it felt like she paused an extra second with Townsend up inside the baseline, and it cost her. Well then…

  16. Townsend breaks againpublished at 14:27 BST 30 June

    *Townsend 1-6 3-0 Swiatek

    More good work from Taylor Townsend to bring up two break points - she's really found her feet in this second set.

    Iga Swiatek then double faults and the American has the double break.

    You would not have expected this following that dominant first set from defending champion Swiatek.

  17. Nosebleed hinders Fery in third setpublished at 14:25 BST 30 June

    Dzumhur 6-3 2-6 0-2 Fery*

    After a medical timeout for a nosebleed, Arthur Fery is back on court.

    Asked about having to cope with a nosebleed during his victory over Adrian Mannarino at Queen's, Fery said: "It happens to me quite often. I'm used to it.

    "I don't really know why it happens. Maybe nerves. Sometimes tiredness, the heat. I don't know. It happens here and there."

    There are a few more points now where you can see why Taylor Townsend is so dangerous.

    She hasn’t won a singles match here since 2019 but she won the women’s doubles title in 2024 and her volleys and slices, when she gets properly behind them, are just so beautiful to watch on a grass court.
