Novak Djokovic continues his bid for a record 25th grand slam title as he takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Wimbledon quarter-finals, with defending champion Jannik Sinner awaiting the winner in the semi-finals.
Djokovic, 39, was unhappy with his performance as he came through qualifier Roman Safiullin in four sets on Sunday and now faces the highest-remaining seed in his quarter of the draw in the Canadian third seed Auger-Aliassime.
Djokovic is aiming to reach a record-extending 15th Wimbledon semi-final but the seven-time champion will know he will have to improve if he is to defeat Auger-Aliassime, who is into the quarter-finals for the second time.
Elsewhere at Wimbledon, Coco Gauff battled from behind once again to reach her first semi-final, defeating fourth seed Jessica Pegula in three sets in the all-American clash on Centre Court. Gauff will play either Naomi Osaka or Karolina Muchova on Thursday for a place in her first Wimbledon final.

Novak Djokovic 2-1 Felix Auger-Aliassime*
17:49 , Jamie BraidwoodAuger-Aliassime skids a wonderful low slice across the net but Djokovic stoops down to reply, before matching the Canadian for pace. Djokovic steers a forehand winner, a nice recovery from 0-15 down.
*Novak Djokovic 1-1 Felix Auger-Aliassime
17:46 , Jamie BraidwoodDjokovic claps to himself as if already asking his body to wake up. Auger-Aliassime, who has been broken just once this tournament, holds with an ace.
Novak Djokovic 1-0 Felix Auger-Aliassime*
17:42 , Jamie BraidwoodDjokovic shakes off a double fault and overcomes Auger-Aliassime catching the line with a backhand winner to get the opening hold from 15-30.
*Novak Djokovic 0-0 Felix Auger-Aliassime
17:38 , Jamie BraidwoodThird seed Felix Auger-Aliassime won the toss and elected to receive to start the quarter-final. It’s a beautiful day at Wimbledon and the worst of the afternoon heat has passed, too.
However, if this match goes three hours, we may need to close the roof on Centre Court.
Novak Djokovic v Felix Auger-Aliassime head to head
17:35 , Jamie BraidwoodThis will be just the third time Djokovic has played Auger-Aliassime, and the first since the 2022 Laver Cup. Auger-Aliassime won that match in straight sets, but it was played indoor and on hard court. This will be their first match on grass.

Felix Auger-Aliassime on facing Novak Djokovic: 'I need to play my best'
17:28 , Jamie Braidwood“I need to play my best. There's no going through if I don't play my best. The game plan is quite simple. I hope that I can show that I've improved as a player.
“It's a big opportunity. It's a big honour for me to play this match. It's one of those matches that you want to have and that you train for and prepare for.
“I can only say good things about Novak because the load of work he's done over the years, I mean, I'm not even near any of that.
“Just to think about it, it's crazy. You get dizzy just to think about it. Huge respect to him. He's been very generous with his time, as well. Huge respect to that, not only as a player, but as a person.”
What did Novak Djokovic say after reaching quarter-finals?
17:23 , Jamie Braidwood“To be honest, haven't felt really great on the court, so I was just relieved to get out of it and get a win. Satisfaction and enjoyment was not part of today's win, to be honest. Of course, I'm relieved and happy to win it, but I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully next match will be better in that sense.”
Meltdowns, outbursts and the big question now facing Novak Djokovic’s bid for Wimbledon history
17:18 , Jamie BraidwoodDjokovic cut a frustrated figure during his round-four win over Roman Safiullin but, as his real tournament now begins, can he still step up his level when he faces third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime?

Up next on Centre Court: Novak Djokovic v Felix Auger-Aliassime
17:15 , Jamie BraidwoodNovak Djokovic continues his bid for a record 25th grand slam title as he takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
Djokovic, 39, was unhappy with his performance as he came through qualifier Roman Safiullin in four sets on Sunday.
The seven-time Wimbledon champion will know he will have to improve if he is to defeat third seed Auger-Aliassime, who is into the quarter-finals for the second time.
Djokovic is aiming for a record-extending 15th Wimbledon semi-final, where he may play defending champion Jannik Sinner in a rematch of last year’s final four.
GAME, SET, MATCH! Alexander Zverev through to Wimbledon quarter-finals
17:11 , Jamie BraidwoodIt took him longer than expected, but Alexander Zverev finishes the job against Jiri Lehecka, recovering from a slow start once play was resumed following last night’s suspension to beat Jiri Lehecka 6-4 7-5 3-6 7-6. Zverev recovered from a double-fault on match point, converting his third match point opportunity.
Remarkably, this is Zverev’s first Wimbledon quarter-final. Historically, this tournament has been his weakest. Up next, Zverev may face a problem against Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals. Fritz has beaten Zverev in seven matches in a row, including on grass at Halle last month.
The American is in form and has been resting today while Zverev was brought back onto the court. They will meet in the quarter-finals on Court No 1 tomorrow, with Flavio Cobolli and Arthur Fery also in their section of the draw.
Karolina Muchova seals first set
17:09 , Flo CliffordOsaka produces a flurry of forehand errors, just overhitting on that side, as she falls 5-1 down, with the crowd giving her a massive cheer to encourage her back into this tie-break.
She fights back to 6-3, saving two set points - but Muchova seals the breaker with a beautiful cross-court forehand and gives a steely fist pump to her box. Advantage Czechia!
Osaka and Muchova into first set tie-break
17:02 , Flo CliffordTie-breaks on both of the main show courts. Osaka is in trouble at 30-30 but holds after a pair of beautiful forehand winners, and we’re going to a breaker.
Alexander Zverev and Jiri Lehecka heading to fourth-set tiebreak
17:00 , Jamie BraidwoodAlexander Zverev moves two points away from the match but Jiri Lehecka pulls out a wonderful drop shot to end the baseline rally and get through to the tiebreak. Zverev is very strong in tiebreaks, but Lehecka has resumed this match wonderfully following last night’s suspension. Can he force a fifth?
*Naomi Osaka 5-6 Karolina Muchova
16:57 , Flo CliffordMuchova serve-volleys with ease but Osaka digs the ball out, returning it with interest; back comes an overhead, which Osaka sends into the net.
Osaka sends her next return wide, and we’re still on serve.
Naomi Osaka 5-5 Karolina Muchova*
16:56 , Flo CliffordIt’s been a high-quality contest out on No 1 Court, with both players striking the ball clinically. Muchova gets in a spot of bother on serve though as she can’t return a low, skimming ball from Osaka, then double faults to give the 14th seed a break point... but gets back to deuce with a lovely low forehand of her own.
Osaka goes long, but then powers up the court, forcing Muchova on the defensive... and she overhits. Deuce again.
Naomi Osaka receiving some strapping on ankle as Karolina Muchova leads
16:36 , Jamie BraidwoodAfter four straight breaks, Muchova holds to lead 3-2 and there is a flash of irritation from Osaka after squandering her early advantages. At the changeover, Osaka receives some additional strapping on her right ankle, which may be a concern?
Muchova plays an instinctive pick-up and volley to get to break point, but Osaka - who didn’t face a single break point against Sabalenka in the fourth round - fends Muchova off. She holds, and her team encourage her by asking for some more energy. 3-3 in the first.
Coco Gauff digs deep to overcome Jessica Pegula and reach first Wimbledon semi-final
16:24 , Flo Clifford at WimbledonCoco Gauff demonstrated her trademark resilience and tenacity as she fought back from a set down to knock fourth seed Jessica Pegula out of Wimbledon and reach the semi-finals for the first time.
Pegula, the highest seed left in the quarter-finals, broke Gauff in the first game and held the upper hand throughout the first set.
But she was left to rue her failure to take chances and general passivity in the second and third as seventh seed Gauff fought back, winning 4-6 6-3 6-3 in an hour and 48 minutes.

A waiting game awaits for Novak Djokovic and Felix Auger-Aliassime
16:18 , Jamie BraidwoodDjokovic’s quarter-final is scheduled third on Centre Court. It will always going to follow the all-American clash between Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula. But it will now also follow the conclusion of Alexander Zverev’s fourth-round match with Jiri Lehecka, which has been held overnight due to the Wimbledon curfew. Zverev led by two sets, with the third paused at 3-3 in the third.
Djokovic could take to court after 5pm BST, after the Gauff-Pegula match went to a third set and Lehecka forced the fourth set against Zverev. It could be later, though, if the Czech 13th seed Lehecka can continue his comeback and take Zverev to a fifth set on Centre Court.
Up next on Court No 1: Naomi Osaka resumes Wimbledon bid against Karolina Muchova
16:14 , Jamie BraidwoodCan Naomi Osaka back up her victory over world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka as she takes to Court No 1 against 10th seed Karolina Muchova? Funnily enough, this is a repeat of the Bad Homburg final from two weeks ago, which Osaka retired from after Muchova won the first set 6-1.
Osaka’s tennis, as well as her clothes, are doing the talking at Wimbledon and she will bid to set up a meeting with Coco Gauff on Thursday. She’s off to a great start, too, thundering the forehand at Muchova and drawing the error from the Czech to secure the opening break.
THIRD SET! Jiri Lehecka forces a fourth against Alexander Zverev
16:07 , Jamie BraidwoodAlexander Zverev was cruising last night. But Jiri Lehecka comes out from the suspension to win three games in a row and win the third set! Lehecka confidently serves the set out to love, with an ace down the middle.

16:03 , Jamie BraidwoodThe second seed’s fourth-round match was suspended last night due to the 11pm curfew, with Zverev two sets up and the score in the third 3-3.
And the Czech 13th seed Lehecka immediately brings up break points! Zverev nets! A nightmare start for the German after the resumption!
Jannik Sinner beats Jan-Lennard Struff
15:45 , Flo CliffordOver on No 1 Court, Jannik Sinner continues his progress through the draw: not quite at his best, but getting the job done.
He serves it out against Jan-Lennard Struff, winning 7-5 7-6(4) 6-3, and remains on a collision course with Novak Djokovic, with the Serb taking on Felix Auger-Aliassime later today.
Coco Gauff is into the semi-finals
15:35 , Flo CliffordCoco Gauff reacts to reaching the semi-finals: “Honestly pretty insane, considering I hadn’t won a match on grass in two years before this tournament! Really happy with how I played today, Jess is an incredible opponent and person and playing against her is never easy.
“Jess’ ball is so flat and low so I just needed to trust that, being here in the rallies, I started to land more first serve and just trusting my shot. In the first set I made a little too many errors, rushing the rallies too quickly. I just felt the last two sets were really great sets. I’ve gone to three sets in the last few, [you have to] have that faith in yourself when the match goes the distance, when you lose the first set you’re not panicking.
Asked how she deals with the expectations placed on her after her breakthrough here in 2019, she laughs and says: “Maybe some people, I think a lot of people had me going out in the first or second round! I’m just happy to get to the semis. I didn’t feel nervous, I don’t know if I’m becoming a vet, or…. It’s a beautiful court, [while waiting] I was looking at the decorations and the art pieces and I had to tell myself to look at the door and focus on the match.”
GAME, SET AND MATCH! Jessica Pegula 6-4 3-6 3-6 Coco Gauff
15:27 , Flo CliffordJessica Pegula has not been at the races today. Gauff gets a brilliant, tenacious hold as she leads 5-3, then breaks Pegula as the fourth seed serves to stay in the match, shanking the ball long and then into the net on match point.
“Oh my god, how?” Gauff appears to say as she grins up at her box.
She’s into the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time!
BREAK BACK! Jessica Pegula 6-4 3-6 3-4 Coco Gauff*
15:18 , Flo CliffordPegula is unable to back up that impressive break; Gauff goes nuclear on the return and races to a 0-40 lead, then a punchy return has Pegula off-balance and she clips the tape, the ball falling limply back on her side, and that’s an awful service game, broken to love. Momentum back with Gauff.
BREAK BACK! *Jessica Pegula 6-4 3-6 3-3 Coco Gauff
15:15 , Flo CliffordThis has been a tussle and a half. Gauff has looked so much more confident but now Pegula steps it up a level, taking the ball early and forcing Gauff back in the rallies, and it pays off: she breaks as Gauff, pinned behind the baseline, nets.
BREAK! Jessica Pegula 6-4 3-6 1-2 Coco Gauff*
15:04 , Flo CliffordGauff breaks and moves ahead in this decider! At 15-30 up she plays a brilliant point, pushing Pegula around; the fourth seed gets a lob back in play but Gauff replies with a merciless drop shot, then Pegula goes wide on a drop volley, and it’s the two-time slam champion who leads in the third set.
SECOND SET! Jannik Sinner saves set point, wins tiebreak
15:01 , Jamie BraidwoodJannik Sinner was forced to save set point at 5-4, with the champion finding a belting serve on his way to getting through to the tiebreak. There, Sinner steps it up, closing out the decider 7-4 to move one set away from the semi-finals. Sinner clenches his fist and is close to getting through another efficient win.
*Jessica Pegula 6-4 3-6 1-1 Coco Gauff
15:01 , Flo CliffordAs in both sets so far Gauff is in trouble on serve; as she has throughout this match, she battles through. She goes wide on a drop volley for 30-40 but Pegula isn’t testing her enough on the pressure points and errs twice, sending a low ball into the net on game point, and Gauff survives again.
GAME AND SECOND SET! *Jessica Pegula 6-4 3-6 Coco Gauff
14:51 , Flo CliffordGauff certainly hasn’t been playing her best but she’s been hanging in there and she’s rewarded for that dogged determination. Having broken Pegula she serves out, wrestling back from 15-30 down with some clean serving, and an ace down the T takes us to a deciding set.
BREAK! Jessica Pegula 6-4 3-5 Coco Gauff*
14:48 , Flo CliffordJust as she did in the first set, Pegula plays one uncharacteristically sloppy service game; Gauff gets on the front foot immediately and a double fault tamely concedes a break to love.
Gauff will serve to take this to a decider, although you wouldn’t bet on that being straightforward, either...
*Jessica Pegula 6-4 2-3 Coco Gauff
14:38 , Flo CliffordAfter some nervy service games the pair trades hold to love, which will reassure Gauff in particular after that tricky start and another poor game at 1-1, slipping to 30-30 before an ace and huge overhead smash.
This match has yet to really catch fire.
Jessica Pegula 6-4 1-1 Coco Gauff*
14:26 , Flo CliffordGauff shows her indomitable fighting spirit in a tense game. A double fault and error see her go 15-40 down but she claws her way back, the highlight of the game a brilliant strike on the turn after retrieving a lob; Pegula sends it back and Gauff holds her nerve with a fierce passing shot down the line. A big serve seals the hold.
Pegula gets in a spot of bother on her own serve, erring from 40-15 up, but Gauff makes two errors on the backhand and they’re both on the board.
GAME AND FIRST SET! Jessica Pegula 6-4 Coco Gauff*
14:12 , Flo CliffordGauff sends a backhand skimming narrowly wide and Pegula has two set points... and Gauff nets in the next rally. First blood to Pegula, the higher-ranked of the two Americans.
*Jessica Pegula 5-4 Coco Gauff
14:09 , Flo CliffordOver on Centre, Pegula has broken back again to love after a dismal service game by Gauff including two double faults.
The pair trade holds and now Pegula will serve for the first set.
Gauff breaks back! Jessica Pegula 3-3 Coco Gauff*
14:00 , Flo CliffordHaving only missed one first serve until this game suddenly it deserts Pegula, while Gauff ups the intensity, stepping in on the return, and the fourth seed is in trouble...
She nets twice under pressure from Gauff and we’re back on serve in this opening set.
FIRST SET! Jannik Sinner strikes to close out Jan-Lennard Struff
13:58 , Jamie BraidwoodIt appeared as if Jan Lennard Struff was putting pressure on Jannik Sinner on Court No1, extending the Italian’s service games and getting to deuce on three service games in a row.
Sinner, through, came through each one without needing to face break point. Then, as Struff served at 5-5, Sinner made his move and got to 0-40, taking the third break point.
Sinner was the able to serve out the set, taking the opener in 46 minutes. He wraps himself with an ice towel as he takes his seat, but that was typically efficient from the world No 1.
*Jessica Pegula 2-1 Coco Gauff
13:50 , Flo CliffordIt’s still not quite clicking for Gauff but she gets on the board, and there’s a flash of the magic she can produce as she plays a lovely low volley, from behind the baseline, which just dies away on the grass after dinking over the net, and holds to 15.
BREAK! *Jessica Pegula 1-0 Coco Gauff
13:42 , Flo CliffordGauff gets to 0-40 on serve before a first double fault of the afternoon and an overhit forehand. She knocks a low, skimming ball into the net for deuce, then again, and double faults again! Pegula breaks at the first time of asking!

Jessica Pegula v Coco Gauff
13:40 , Flo CliffordIt’s another blistering day out on Centre Court and there’s quite a breeze too, which could cause some problems.
It’s an all-American clash between the two highest seeds remaining. Pegula is into her first quarter-final here since 2023, while Gauff is into uncharted territory on the grass.
Coco Gauff beats Wimbledon curfew to reach quarter-finals: ‘The most dramatic finish’
13:27 , Flo CliffordCoco Gauff raced against the clock and beat the Wimbledon curfew to reach the quarter-finals for the first time with a dramatic victory over Belinda Bencic.
The Wimbledon curfew, which is set by Merton Council and has been in place since Centre Court opened its roof in 2009, does not allow play to continue past 11pm local time to limit potential disruption for local residents.
Gauff, the seventh seed and two-time major champion, forced the deciding set against former Olympic champion Bencic at just after 10pm and served for her place in the quarter-finals at 10:56pm, booking her place with just two minutes to spare before the curfew.

Defending champ Jannik Sinner battles Jan Lennard Struff, and heat, in first men's quarter-final
13:16 , Jamie BraidwoodShould Jannik Sinner return to the Wimbledon semi-finals, the defending champion will have done so facing needing to face a seeded opponent in his first five matches. The world No 1 today faces the 36-year-old German Jan Lennard Struff, with the world No 74 bidding to become the oldest first-time men’s grand slam semi-finalist should be pull off the upset today.
One thing to watch is that Sinner is up against not just the big-serving Struff, who dumped out Daniil Medvedev in straight sets in the third round, but the weather. It’s a scorching afternoon at the All England Club.
Does Wimbledon have a heat rule and could play be suspended?
Jessica Pegula avoids upset as seeds continue to fall at Wimbledon
13:15 , Flo CliffordFirst up on Centre Court today, fourth seed Jessica Pegula plays seventh seed Coco Gauff. Here’s a reminder of how they reached the quarter-finals:
After a day of shocks and upsets at Wimbledon fourth seed Jessica Pegula managed to avoid the same fate, as she overcame a spirited challenge from Iva Jovic in three sets.
Second seed and 2022 champion Elena Rybakina was picked apart by 25th seed Elise Mertens in straight sets on Saturday, followed by defending champion Iga Swiatek also falling in straights to 21-year-old rising star Alexandra Eala, on a day which completely upended the bottom half of the draw.
It looked like Pegula - one of the few remaining favourites - might be the next to suffer an untimely exit as she lost a topsy-turvy first set to 16th seed Jovic on Sunday, but the former US Open finalist held her nerve and regrouped to win 4-6 6-3 6-1.

Meltdowns, outbursts and the big question now facing Novak Djokovic’s bid for Wimbledon history
12:50 , Flo CliffordAs Novak Djokovic grumbled and growled around Centre Court while leading the Wimbledon qualifier Roman Safiullin by two sets, the 39-year-old came very close to breaking point. Djokovic had overcome a slow start to establish what looked to be a dominant position, as he closed in on a ninth consecutive quarter-final at the All England Club. Safiullin’s epic run from qualifying - including back-to-back wins in fifth-set tiebreaks - appeared to be reaching the end of its road.
Jamie Braidwood was courtside for another intriguing performance by Novak Djokovic, who has run hot and cold throughout this tournament and will need to step up a level once again in his quarter-final today:

Djokovic faces the toughest test of his bid for a record 25th grand slam title as he battles third seed Auger-Aliassime, while Jannik Sinner meets Jan Lennard-Struff. Djokovic and defnding champion Sinner could set up a rematch of last year’s semi-final if they both win.
In the women’s quarter-finals, Naomi Osaka will attempt to back up her brilliant win over top seed Aryna Sabalenka when she faces Karolina Muchova, who knocked out the last remaning former champion Barbora Krejcikova.

Alexander Zverev's match against Jiri Lehecka halted by Wimbledon curfew
12:00 , Flo CliffordLater on day eight, Alexander Zverev had his Wimbledon fourth-round match with Jiri Lehecka stopped by the Wimbledon curfew at 10:55pm local time.
Zverev leads 6-4 7-5 3-3, with Lehecka set to serve when the players return tomorrow afternoon. The match did not start until 9pm, due to Arthur Fery’s four-hour win over Grigor Dimitrov and a three-setter between Jasmine Paolini and Alexandra Eala.
Taylor Fritz will play the winner of Zverev and Lehecka, and has his feet up at home after beating Alexander Bublik in straight sets earlier.
Who will Arthur Fery play next at Wimbledon as British wildcard reaches quarter-finals?
11:45 , Flo CliffordUp next for Fery, who has now won two matches in a row at Wimbledon from two sets to one down, is the Italian ninth seed and French Open runner-up Cobolli.
Cobolli, 24, earlier beat Alex de Minuar in three tough sets, winning 7-5 7-6 6-3 to continue his own battling run. Cobolli reached his first grand slam final last month, where he lost to Alexander Zverev in five sets.
In a twist, Fery and Cobolli have already played at a grand slam this season, with Fery beating Cobolli as a qualifier at the Australian Open this season when the Italian was the 20th seed.
Fery, making his overseas grand slam debut, won 7-6 (1), 6-4, 6-1 against a struggling Cobolli, who took a medical timeout and was visited by the doctor as he dealt with a stomach bug.

Arthur Fery’s Wimbledon fairytale continues as British wildcard roars into quarter-finals
11:35 , Flo CliffordEven on Centre Court and the hallowed grass where silence is usually preserved, Arthur Fery refused to go down quietly. The last British hope left standing in the singles, and Wimbledon local, was not done with his fairytale. Kicking and screaming in defiance, he won a five-set thriller against fellow wildcard Grigor Dimitrov to reach the quarter-finals. Roger Federer looked down from the front row of the Royal Box and grinned in approval at Fery’s fight and the arrival of a new home hope. The days of five-set epics involving a roaring, snarling Brit following Andy Murray’s retirement are not over, after all.

What happened on day eight?
11:25 , Flo CliffordBritish wildcard Arthur Fery dramatically kept his Wimbledon hopes alive as he defeated Grigor Dimitrov in an epic five-set comeback to reach the quarter-finals.
The 23-year-old Fery, born to French parents but who grew up five minutes away from Wimbledon, arrived at the Championship as a wildcard and ranked 114, with only two grand slam victories to his name.
After beating Zizou Bergs in five sets on Saturday, he was moved up to Centre Court and played in front of Roger Federer, where he staged another remarkable comeback from two sets to one down to become the first British wildcard to reach the last eight of a grand slam.
After forcing the match tiebreak, Fery closed out the biggest win of his life, winning 7-5, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (10-7) in three hours and 55 minutes to become just the sixth British man in the open era to reach the quarter-finals here.

What's happening on day nine?
10:58 , Flo CliffordThe Wimbledon quarter-finals get underway with Tuesday’s order of play featuring two blockbuster women’s singles matches as well as the men’s singles clash between Novak Djokovic and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Djokovic faces the toughest test of his bid for a record 25th grand slam title as he battles third seed Auger-Aliassime, while Jannik Sinner meets Jan Lennard-Struff. Djokovic and defending champion Sinner could set up a rematch of last year’s semi-final if they both win.
In the women’s quarter-finals, Naomi Osaka will attempt to back up her brilliant win over top seed Aryna Sabalenka when she faces Karolina Muchova, who knocked out the last remaining former champion Barbora Krejcikova.
Coco Gauff, meanwhile, will face fourth seed Jessica Pegula in an all-American quarter-final on Centre Court. Gauff is through to her first Wimbledon quarter-final after beating the curfew by two minutes on Sunday.
There is also a men’s fourth-round match to finish after Alexander Zverev’s clash with Jiri Lehecka was suspended due to the 11pm Wimbledon curfew with the German leading by two sets and with the score 3-3 in the third.
Welcome
10:54 , Flo CliffordHello and welcome to day nine of Wimbledon!
A day after Arthur Fery’s electric exploits as the British wildcard reached the quarter-finals of a grand slam for the first time, Novak Djokovic continues his own search of history but at the other end of the spectrum, searching for a 25th slam title.
Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Naomi Osaka are all also in action on another blockbuster day at SW19.
