    I've popped over to Court One to see the third - and possibly final - set between Taylor Fritz and Alexander Bublik.

    It's all been going Fritz's way so far, but the crowd are now willing on Bublik who has been entertaining them with his crafty drop shots.

    The Kazakh can't lift that one over, though, and there's a groan from the fans as he hands Fritz the first break on a plate.

    Fery is being a yappy little terrier at Dimitrov's heels telling him that he's not going anywhere and refusing to give up and I love that about him.

    At 15-30, Arthur Fery was having to dig deep once more. And yet again, as he has repeatedly done, fights with everything he has got to turn it around.

    A good second serve and the Dimitrov return is long and a little fist pump signifies a hold of serve.

    The anxiety is going to come from someone.

    The person who gets nervous first is probably going to lose this match.

    Just a reminder that only five British men have reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in the Open era: Roger Taylor, Tim Henman, Greg Rusedski, Andy Murray and Cameron Norrie.

    Can Arthur make it six?

    Dimitrov needed that game badly. Incredible last point, just a flick of the wrist.

    Dimitrov holds to love, just to slow down the Fery charge and remind him he's not going anywhere.

    So, so impressive from the Brit. Just upping his game, upping the level, the crowd is behind him.

    This is so mentally impressive from Fery.

    Arthur Fery's resilience is beautiful to see. He's not leaving anything to chance. If he keeps this up, it won't be an understatement to say he'll win this game. A lot of giant strides from him already.

    A fifth set is nothing less than Arthur Fery deserves for his continued refusal to go away here.

    The Briton lept up and punched the air several times, as all around him inside Centre Court responded by leaping from their seats.

    The 23-year-old came back from two sets to one down to win his third-round match, of course, and he is clearly not lacking in belief.

    It'll be a day he'll never, ever forget if he can do the same here.

    Every successful Fery shot is cheered wildly by an ecstatic Wimbledon crowd. Suddenly the errors are coming from the Dimitrov racquet and Fery has a burst of energy. A hold of serve from the Briton is the perfect way to start the decider.

    Feel like Dimitrov has lacked a bit of focus today, missed a lot of easy shots at the net. That game for the break back was so poor from him.

    The body language is clear for everyone to see. Fery bouncing around on the court, Dimitrov looking up at the sky.

    Grigor Dimitrov is 35 years old, while Arthur Fery turns 24 on Sunday - the day of the men's final. Will Fery's youth and extra energy prove critical or will Dimitrov's experience count for more?

    As easy as that, Taylor Fritz brings up three break points and wins the set when Alexander Bublik crashes a wild volley past the baseline.

    American sixth seed Fritz has one foot in the quarter-finals.

    This is just incredible stuff! Fery showing incredible resilience. Breaks three times to push it, he has all the momentum.

    Will we have Brit in the quarter finals? I believe so.

    All credit to Arthur Fery. He never let his head drop.

    Dimitrov will be sat thinking what on Earth am I still doing still on Centre Court? He had the match in the palm of his hands.

    You get to a stage like this, it's all to play for.

  18. Fritz breakspublished at 19:19 BST 6 July

    *Fritz 7-6 5-4 Bublik

    Just as I was about to type that the second set has seen no break points yet, Taylor Fritz gets to 0-30 with a double fault from Alexander Bublik, who then slices a shot into the net.

    That brings up three break points for Fritz, who makes them count as Bublik again slices into the net.

    The Kazakhstani 10th seed crumbled in that game and Fritz will now serve for the second set.

    It has already been a great sporting day for England with the Three Lions moving into the quarter-finals of the World Cup - and hopes are still alive of having someone in the Wimbledon singles last eight.

    Great spirit and resilience from 23-year-old Arthur Fery, in the biggest match of his life on the biggest stage of them all.

    He is relishing the occasion. It looked done when Grigor Dimitrov was two holds of serve from victory, but Fery responded superbly and into the final set we go.

    Dimitrov has lost his rhythm completely.

    Fery is doing everything right at the moment. We're going to go the distance.
