    No signs of any early struggles on serve for Coco Gauff.

    A comfortable hold to love puts the two-time Grand Slam champion firmly in control.

    Sabalenka 1-1 Ostapenko*

    These two sure can strike a tennis ball.

    Again, the game goes to deuce but this time there's a break point on offer for Jelena Ostapenko, thanks to a superb second-serve return that Aryna Sabalenka has little time to react to.

    Sabalenka hits the sideline with a forehand winner and Ostapenko can't quite believe it.

    The world number one finds an ace to wrap up the game and level the first set.

    Ostapenko will relish the opportunity being out here on Centre Court against the world number one.

    If there is a player out on tour who will back herself in this then it is Ostapenko.

  7. Can Gauff crack the code on grass?published at 17:22 BST 3 July

    Liu v Gauff

    Coco Gauff had to answer some questions in the second round against Argentina's Solana Sierra, eventually winning in three sets.

    Grass has never been Gauff's favoured surface. The American is yet to win a single title on the surface and she has never gone beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon.

    Gauff was knocked out in the first round at SW19 last year but should be feeling confident of dispatching qualifier Claire Liu today.

    *Sabalenka 0-1 Ostapenko

    Jelena Ostapenko is taken to deuce in her opening service game but eventually holds to get on the scoreboard.

    Liu v Gauff

    Qualifier Claire Liu has won the toss and elected to serve in her third-round match against Coco Gauff.

    Liu, who is appearing in her first Grand Slam main draw of 2026, has never previously gone beyond the second round.

    The 26-year-old has also lost both previous encounters against Gauff.

  10. Postpublished at 17:19 BST 3 July

    Sabalenka 0-0 Ostapenko*

    2018 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko is no stranger to deep runs at Wimbledon, reaching a singles semi-final, two singles quarter-finals and two doubles finals (one women's, one mixed).

    The big-hitting Latvian, a former world number five, needed three sets to beat Britain's Harriet Dart in round one but brushed aside Antonia Ruzic in round two, dropping just two games in a crushing 6-2 6-0 win.

    Ostapenko has won two grass-court singles titles and reached the semi-finals at Eastbourne in the lead-up to Wimbledon.

    Novak Djokovic on sealing his 105th men's singles win at Wimbledon to equal Roger Federer's record: "Obviously to be able to make history on this court is a huge honour and privilege. This was always a dream childhood tournament of mine. I'm not really thinking about how many more I can get, I'm just really trying to win the match on a given day.

    "I propose a match between me and Roger [Federer] for 106! Whoever wins it, gets it. Let's just stop this here and let's call him down."

    On where he feels his mind and body is going into the next round: "How do I put this into simple terms? I think I've done everything I needed to do today, under circumstances that weren't maybe as good for me as they were in the second round, and it was still enough to win. At this age and stage in my career, every day brings something new and unpredictable for me. I'm hoping that I will come out at my best in a few days' time.

    "More than tennis, I hope that my dance moves will improve because my daughter has been teaching me but I'm pretty poor. She didn't give me a smile in the end, she was more like: 'Yeah, we have to practice!' But hopefully I can have many more dances throughout the rest of this tournament. We will see."

  12. Sabalenka steps on to Centre Courtpublished at 17:16 BST 3 July

    Sabalenka v Ostapenko

    Four-time Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka is hoping to end a run of semi-final exits at Wimbledon, bowing out in the last four on each of her past three appearances.

    The 29-year-old top seed is also searching for her maiden grass court title.

    Sabalenka is yet to drop a set in this year's tournament but did have to fight back from 5-2 down in the second to beat McCartney Kessler in a tie-break in the second round.

    She plays former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko for a place in round four.

  13. Gauff up next on Court Onepublished at 17:16 BST 3 July

    The matches keep coming on Court One with an all-American tie up next.

    Seventh seed Coco Gauff faces qualifier Claire Liu for a place in the last 16.

    Gauff went out of the French Open earlier this year in the third round, she'll be hoping to avoid suffering the same fate today.

    Jannik Sinner, speaking on Court One, after beating Jenson Brooksby to advance to the fourth round: "Very happy about the win, I'm trying to improve every day. Small step forwards today, trying to get better. If I want to go far in this tournament, there are a couple of things we need to work on. He was a very tough opponent, I'm very happy about the result."

    On involving the crowd: "It was very unusual but I needed that today. I was trying to serve out, I couldn't. I had a couple of match points, couldn't use them, tried to rush to the finish line. Thanks for pushing me."

    On playing Mochizuki next: "I've never played him. Whoever is in the fourth round of a Grand Slam deserves to be there. It will be a tough match. This surface, it's very unpredictable. I try to look more at my side of the net. I'll try to be the best I can in a couple of days. It's very special to be back here."

    Game, set and match - Struffpublished at 17:12 BST 3 July

    Struff 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 Medvedev

    Jan-Lennard StruffImage source, Getty Images

    Jan-Lennard Struff is not backing down in this match as he finds the lines to get himself to 30-30 on Daniil Medvedev's serve.

    You can hear the effort in Medvedev's shots, while Struff, despite the power, does not make a noise.

    A big forehand to Medvedev's backhand corner brings up match point... and a double fault from the eighth seed seals it!

    Struff was down in every set but somehow came back in each one to beat Medvedev in straight sets and reach the round of 16 at Wimbledon for the first time in his career.

    What an effort from the 36-year-old.

  16. 'I did everything I could in the controllable situations'published at 17:11 BST 3 July

    Rinderknech 5-7 4-6 6-1 6-7 (4-7) Djokovic

    Seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic, speaking on Centre Court after beating France's Arthur Rinderknech: "It took a bit of luck and a bit of skill in the end. It was a pretty much flawless tie-break from my side of things. I felt I did everything I could in the controllable situations. I served extremely well for most of the match, possibly except for the tie-break when I struggled with it but that was also to do with his quality. He is very tall, he hits incredible serves and he deserves a round of applause for his performance, no doubt.

    "I've never faced him before so obviously I was coming into the match knowing that I was facing someone who is already a top player and doesn't have much to lose. Last year, he beat [Alexander] Zverev on Centre Court, so he clearly loves the big stage and he doesn't get overwhelmed by the occasion. He showed that today. It was a really tiring and really close match, but I'm happy to overcome it in the tie-break. Sometimes you just have to find a way to win, and I'm happy I did that today."

    On his diving volley which sealed victory: "Well I saw him slip and fall down, so I was thinking: 'Please, just stay down' for that last shot. There was a lot of slipping and sliding, drop shots, and cat and mouse play. He has that variety because he has a big powerful game. He was also changing the pace and putting a lot of variety in the game, so he took me out of my comfort zone. I'm just really relieved to come through this one."

  17. Venus Williams out of doublespublished at 17:09 BST 3 July

    On the subject of the Williams sisters, Venus had best hope Serena is fit to play as her Wimbledon campaign is over in the mixed doubles.

    She and German partner Kevin Krawietz have lost 6-4 6-4 to Britain's Lloyd Glasspool and Tereza Mihalikova.

  18. Waiting game for Williams sisters...published at 17:06 BST 3 July

    Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport tennis news reporter at Wimbledon

    We still don't know if Serena Williams will be stepping out alongside big sister Venus in the doubles tomorrow.

    Serena picked up a knee niggle in her singles comeback on Tuesday - when she lost a tight match against Australia's Maya Joint - to put the rest of her Wimbledon comeback in serious doubt.

    Those in the Williams camp are remaining very tight-lipped about the injury, although I was told yesterday by somebody close to her that they were optimistic she would be fit enough to play.

    However, it's gone past 17:00 BST now and while the singles matches have only just been scheduled, we have still not had any indication of when tomorrow's doubles matches will be played.

    Join the dots together and you would assume Wimbledon are waiting to see if the Williams are going to take on Colombia's Camila Osario and Argentina's Solana Sierra.

    Serena Williams has not been seen on the practice courts in the past three days.

    She doesn't have to withdraw today, of course, but an earlier indication either way would give Wimbledon more time to plan ahead.

    Will Serena continue singles comeback?

  19. Struff holdspublished at 17:05 BST 3 July

    Struff 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5) 6-5 Medvedev*

    Jan-Lennard Struff just can't seem to get the first serves in when he needs them.

    Daniil Medvedev takes advantage to bring it to deuce.

    However, there is a reason Struff has got himself into this position and he gets the game over the line to put the pressure right back on Medvedev.

    The eighth seed has gone from serving for the set to now serving to stay in it.

    Ultimately, Novak Djokovic is through to the next round and that's what makes him a great champion.

    Even on the days when he isn't quite at his best, he is better than the rest and his opponent.
