  5. 'Compelling on and off court' - a decade on tour with Murraypublished at 22:00 British Summer Time 6 July

    What is Andy Murray really like?

    It is a question I am frequently asked.

    Driven, passionate, emotional, resilient and potty-mouthed are all adjectives regular Murray watchers could turn to.

    Mischievous, funny, loyal, polite and indecisive are words I would add, having been lucky enough to develop a professional relationship with him over the past 11 years.

    As I travelled home from Wimbledon one autumn afternoon, a message flashed up on the screen in my car.

    It was from Murray’s long-time agent Matt Gentry, informing me Andy had just contacted him to say I had cut him up on a slip road on to the A3.

    I am still (well, 95%) sure I had not - and was only too aware of his sense of humour - but my pulse still quickened a little when I turned off the A3 and was followed for the next 20 minutes by an expensive-looking car.

    I never got a clear look at the driver’s face as he was a lot lower to the ground than I was, but the journey home became more relaxing once the car in question had turned left.

  6. Djokovic hit the right notes...published at 21:56 British Summer Time 6 July

    Popyrin 6-4 3-6 3-6 6-7 (3-7) Djokovic

    Novak Djokovic is no stranger to an iconic celebration and he doesn't mind winding the Wimbledon crowd up either.

    Well, he ticked both of those boxes after wrapping up his victory over Australia's Alexei Popyrin.

  7. 'I tried to shoot a penalty, Alexei defended it well' - Djokovicpublished at 21:52 British Summer Time 6 July

    Popyrin 6-4 3-6 3-6 6-7 (3-7) Djokovic

    More from Novak Djokovic, who is into the fourth round:

    How close are you to your best after surgery on a torn medial meniscus last month?

    "I think each match it’s getting better. My feeling of movement, confidence particularly extreme balls, reaching, sliding. I definitely got better today than in my second match.

    "Hopefully the direction or trajectory will keep going in a positive way. Let’s see what happens in the next one."

    On miming taking a penalty as the crowd on Centre Court celebrated England's penalty shootout victory against Switzerland at Euro 2024:

    "I assumed it was a penalty shootout between England and Switzerland – it felt like for a set and a half the crowd really wanted to understand what the score is in the football match.

    "Did England win in the end? That’s why you guys stayed. Congrats to England.

    "I tried to shoot a penalty, I’m left footed, but Alexei defended it well."

  9. 'One of the best tie-breaks I've played this year' - Djokovicpublished at 21:49 British Summer Time 6 July

    Popyrin 6-4 3-6 3-6 6-7 (3-7) Djokovic

    We can hear from Novak Djokovic, who has booked himself into the fourth round, and the second week of Wimbledon:

    How pleased are you with that match?

    "It was another tough match. I didn’t expect anything less than what we experienced on the court today from Alexei. I know he was going to come to the match with confidence, a lot of self-belief. He was close to winning [when we played] in Australia earlier this year.

    "With that serve and powerful forehand, he’s dangerous on any surface.

    "I knew he was in form and he was going to come out believing he can win. He was the better player in the first set. I think I played a good second and third and the fourth was anybody’s game. He was serving very well. It was very difficult to read his serve.

    "It was just a very challenging match, mentally as well to hang in there. I'm not allowed to have too big concentration lapses. I think I’ve done well in that regard in one of the best tie-breaks I’ve played this year, that’s for sure."

    We have a winner on Court One where Danish 15th seed Holger Rune has come from two sets down to beat Frenchman Quentin Halys in five sets.

    Rune's reward? He plays Novak Djokovic next.

    Over on Court two, American 13th seed Taylor Fritz has beaten Alejandro Tabilo - and the fading light - in straight sets.

    Popyrin 6-4 3-6 4-6 6-7 (3-7) Djokovic

    As Charlotte says, Novak Djokovic was far from vintage in the first set but he showed the kind of resilience that we've seen throughout his career after the roof was closed and the second set got going.

    Just sticking in there is one of his greatest attributes.

    It's worth remembering that he underwent surgery on a torn medial meniscus just a month ago (5 June).

    A brilliant performance from Alexei Popyrin but it’s Novak Djokovic who cements his place in the last 16.

    He wasn’t at his best today but everyone knows how dangerous he is in the second week of a Grand Slam.

    His eyes are fixated on an eighth title at SW19 and you wouldn’t bet against him.
