Jelena Ostapenko takes her towels and makes a hasty exit. She sticks a hand of acknowledgment up to the crowd as she leaves.

Coco Gauff is lucky as a couple of returns, taken on her heels, just clear the net but Claire Liu obliges by sending a backhand long.

We had the match we anticipated, with a lot of amazing shots and amazing winners.

Sabalenka is raising the bar and raising the level. Her return of the serve was great and her first serve is down to absolute perfection.

She knew she had a very difficult game with a tough opponent at the other end and she brought her A game.

Just a clenched fist will do. Beating a very dangerous opponent. Sabalenka played very, very well. She gave very little away.

If Sabalenka keeps that up then she is going to be very difficult to beat.

Aryna Sabalenka has lost in the semi-finals of each of her past three appearances at Wimbledon and has never appeared in a final.

Is this the year she gets there and lifts the title?

At 15-all, Claire Liu misses another forehand - how many errors has she stuck off that wing?

But then, she wallops a second serve out wide before placing a forehand into the opposite corner with Coco Gauff chasing in vain. Her inconsistency is so frustrating.

Up 40-30, Liu nets a forehand.

Will the world number one finish the match off this time?

Smash! An emphatic way to break to love for Claire Liu. Coco Gauff was serving for the match.

Make that 0-40 as Coco Gauff loops a forehand wide.

A lot of you are sending us in questions asking who the chair umpire is on Centre Court, all because of his very Barry White-esque voice.

His name is Kader Nouri and, get this, he is known as the 'Barry White of tennis'.

In an interview with The Athletic in 2022, the Frenchman told how comments about his deep, baritone voice used to bother him, fearing they distracted from his job. Now, he has "no problem any more" with it.

And there's only one job he would leave his current role for.

“Maybe Disney comes at me and asks me to do some voiceovers for them," he said.

Claire Liu is up 0-30 again on Coco Gauff's serve...

Jelena Ostapenko digs deep to extend the match.

Aryna Sabalenka will serve for it after the change of ends.

What happened there? Was Claire Liu bamboozled by the bounce? Whatever it was, the ball pinged off the top of her frame as she wound up for a forehand, handing Coco Gauff a break late in the second set.

Think about all those 0-30s and break points Liu had earlier in the set.

So close to the return winner, but it's out.

Deuce.

Jelena Ostapenko is called for a foot fault at 30-30 and that the first part of a double fault by the Latvian.

A first chance for the world number one to reach the fourth round.

But just like that, Claire Liu is in danger again. She can't handle Coco Gauff's depth.

Claire Liu targets Coco Gauff's forehand and is rewarded with a stroke into the net.

Errors, errors, errors. There's a double fault for 15-all, a loose forehand for 30-all and a netted forehand for 30-40. Claire Liu isn't helping herself.
