  1. Good night - and enjoy Wimbledon 2day

    The sprinklers shower water over a dusky Centre Court, which means it's time to sweep up and clock out. It's been another comfortable day for Andy Murray and Roger Federer, while Novak Djokovic's Wimbledon future is in the balance.

    The women will take centre stage tomorrow, of course. Well, sort of. Novak Djokovic and Kevin Anderson will be sharing the limelight somewhat. Thanks, as always for joining us. More of the same tomorrow?

    If you've not had enough of tennis, you can tune into Wimbledon 2day, which will be showing highlights for another 30 minutes, and is available in this page.

  2. Court One order of play

    Those heading for Court One tomorrow have received a Willy Wonka-style golden ticket as Novak Djokovic and Kevin Anderson will resume their tussle. Could the defending champion be knocked out?

    Whether he does or doesn't, Garbine Muguruza and Timea Bacsinszky will follow his match, with Madison Keys and Agnieska Radwanska bringing women's quarter-finals day to an end.

  3. Tuesday's order of play

    Maria Sharapova and Coco Vandeweghe kick off the day on Centre Court and will be followed by Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka. That could be tasty.

  4. Rain, rain, rain

    Wimbledon weather

    Rain clouds will be looming threateningly over SW19 for much of tomorrow, giving us little respite from the watery drops. Those on Centre Court need not worry, but elsewhere it might be a stop-start kind of a day.

  5. Play suspended - bad light

    Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 6-4 Anderson

    John McEnroe

    Three-time Wimbledon champion on BBC TV

    "What changed was Anderson realised he could win this match and that mindset puts the stress on you and you start to think 'can I actually win this?' Djokovic just kept on working."

  6. Play suspended - bad light

    "Anderson came out and meant business. He had a big lead. We did not anticipate that Anderson would be so effective against the great Djokovic."

  12. Post update

    Djokovic and Anderson to resume on Court One, but rain is forecast on Tuesday and it's a court without a roof. It could be a frustrating day for the defending champion and the South African. 

  13. Play suspended - bad light

    "I think this is fair what they do now. It's about crowd control as well. These people have tickets for court one and you can't move crowds of people on Centre court.

    "I told you he would show emotion after the fourth set.

    "My money is on Novak. The way he fought back was so impressive. Anderson's arms will be sore and he's going to be thinking how Novak came back into this."

  17. Match to resume on Tuesday

    Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 6-4 Anderson

    Djokovic and Anderson pack up and leave, or Anderson disappears while Djokovic adds his signature to all sorts of merchandise. Who would get your vote in a one-set shoot-out? The big serving Anderson or the defending champion with infinite reserves of willpower?

  18. Play suspended - bad light

    Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 6-4 Anderson

    Boos echo around Court One. "Play some more," they scream - but the umpire tells the rowdy spectators that play will be suspended until Tuesday because of the fading light. More hissing. It's turning into a pantomime.

  19. Game and fourth set

    Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 6-4 Anderson*

    Djokovic

    The net on Centre Court is being removed, which means there certainly be no play on the Big Daddy of courts this evening. Spectators chanting on Court One, their cries muffling into one so it's difficult to know who they're cheering. Two set points Djokovic and he seals it with a brilliant forehand winner. The defending champion is back in business.

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 5-4 Anderson

    Boris Becker decked in a red tracksuit top and cream sweatpants, looking like a member of a Roger Federer fan club. Reports filtering through that they won't be moving this match to Centre Court, which means the final set will probably be played on Court One tomorrow, but we're still waiting for official confirmation. A hold to 15 for Anderson.

    Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 5-3 Anderson*

    Djokovic

    Points short and sharp, with the player on serve dominating. Anderson troubles the Serb with one return, Djokovic ruefully smiles, but it's a simple hold to 15.

    Andy Murray - British number one on BBC Radio Five live:

    "Djokovic has had his hands full. Kevin is a good grass-court player, and a good server. Conditions are slowing which will help Novak.

    "I was getting asked after the draw 'you've got to beat Tsonga, Rafa Nadal and then Roger Federer and then Novak'. I don't know why people do that. No one can predict every result in a Slam."

  23. Post update

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 4-3 Anderson

    Djokovic sees his ill-timed backhand return trickle over the net and he raises his racquet in acknowledgement of his good fortune. It's the only point he collects from the Anderson serve, however. That early blip from the South African in this set could prove to be very costly.

    "One of the things Boris Becker and Novak Djokovic will have spoken about many times is to just keep fighting. Becker will say: 'you are stronger mentally and physically than anyone out there. You need to force them to maintain a level of intensity that only you have experience of'.

    "Right now it seems like Anderson is fatiguing just that bit, but just enough so that Djokovic is in the rallies."

  27. Post update

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 3-2 Anderson

    Much chat about whether this match will be transferred to Centre Court. The net is still up on Centre, officials are still on court and there's a crowd gathering, but no official confirmation. Play continuing on Court One for now, however. Anderson holding to love, but perhaps it's a little too late in this set.

    Jamie Murray

    The Murray family are celebrating a quarter-final double tonight. After world number three Andy cruised into the last eight of the singles, his older brother Jamie moved into the same stage of the men's doubles.

    Murray and his Australian playing partner John Peers earned a five-set win over defending champions Vasek Pospisil and Jack Sock in three hours and 19 minutes.

    Murray v Pospisil. That's got a nice ring to it....

  31. Djokovic breaks

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 2-1 Anderson

    Court One groans, and understandably so, as Anderson messes up a serve and volley when the court was at his mercy. 15-15. Djokovic unable to dominate as he did in the third set, but he does earn a break point, which Anderson saves with a serve and volley. Djokovic shakes his head. How did I let that one go? Boris Becker looks on intensely. Second break point Djokovic... Anderson forced to reach to his toes, and that's too low down.

    Pullovers and scarves being worn on Court One to keep the cold at bay from spectators adjusting to a sunny afternoon to breezy summer's evening. Delightful from Djokovic. A backhand passer, low and out of reach, for 40-30, but Anderson holding firm as they trade blows on the next point - and it's Djokovic who folds. Deuce.

    Anderson hitting either glorious winner or frustrating errors. Back and forth from deuce and advantage until Djokovic closes out with an ace.

    Tom: Everyone knows the outcome of this game, even after Anderson went 2-0 up. Even Anderson himself knows this!

    BHF26: It's a shame Anderson has lost momentum. Hopefully that will turn around back in Anderson's favour, to grind out one more set.

    Default Girl: If Anderson wants to cause an upset he needs to snap out of this lull in the 4th. If it goes to a 5th forget it.

  35. Post update

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 0-1 Anderson

    Lights fading across London, but Anderson flickering to life once again. A crunching serve out wide sees the scoreboard rolling to 40-15. But the South African throws in a double fault - his sixth of the match - and Djokovic's eyes widen. Anderson flaps at a forehand. Deuce. Advantage. Deuce. Advantage. Crackerjack of a serve. Game Anderson.

    Djokovic has flicked a switch, engines roaring and is preparing for liftoff. He takes little time to comprehensively outclass Anderson in the third set. Twenty-four minutes, in fact, and there's light at the end of the tunnel.

  40. Djokovic breaks

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 5-1 Anderson

    Anderson needing to dig deep if he is to win this in three sets. Djokovic, though, with feline speed around the court, a crosscourt backhand winner on the opening point. The Anderson serve, his lethal weapon, faltering, as is his forehand. Three break points to the defending champion.

    Anderson chalks one off. but Djokovic works his way around the court magnificently on the next point, ending with a cool backhand volley.

    Job done. Now Anderson needs a break of Djokovic's serve. Not a chance. The Serb, eyes focused on the bare baseline as he bounces his ball, nails his first serve at 40-15, leaving Anderson struggling to control his wayward return.

  43. Post update

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 6-7 (6-8) 3-1 Anderson

    "I cannot afford to lose serve here. I cannot afford to lose serve here." That's what Kevin Anderson will be telling himself as he strides back out with ball in hand. Probably.

    The 14th seed does not lose his serve, calmly sending a forehand winner at 40-30 scurrying down the line.

The second seeds needs no words of encouragement from the crowd to boost him, although Agut fends him off. But for how long? Federer glides to the tape, a swish of the racquet and Agut is undone by a delicate volley. Second match point... saved Agut. Third match point... saved Agut. Fourth match point... saved Agut.

    That first set was the first that Djokovic has dropped at Wimbledon since he won last year's final (vs Federer). He has not dropped two sets in the same match since last year's quarter-final (vs Cilic) and has not gone two sets down since losing the 2013 final to Murray. I know all of this because the lady behind me keeps tapping me on the shoulder to ask.

    What Kevin Anderson needs is an easy hold. What Kevin Anderson gets is an easy(ish) hold. He allows the world number one just a solitary point for 40-15 before waving him away with his eighth ace of the match.

  84. Hewitt out. Again

    Hewitt

    We will see Lleyton Hewitt no more at SW19, not in his Wimbledon whites at least, because the Australian and his partner Casey Dellacqua have lost their mixed doubles match. The pair fell 0-6 6-3 6-3 to ninth seeds Juan-Sebastian Cabal and Cara Black.

    Golfer Ian Poulter is loving life at Wimbledon. He has taken in a couple of matches and fulfilled the Wimbledon cliche by tucking into a bowl of strawberries albeit, it would seem, without the cream.

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 2-3 Anderson

    Peter Fleming

    Seven-time Grand Slam doubles winner on BBC Two

    "I think we will see that when both players tire just a little on serve, the serves won't be bombing down at quite the same power and perhaps as Anderson's nerves fatigue a bit, his willingness to go for the lines will ebb and I think we will start to see Djokovic put more returns in play."

  88. Djokovic breaks back

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 2-3 Anderson

    Let's see what Kevin Anderson is made of then. A hold here will put him well on the way to clinching the second set. Not that we're ruling Novak Djokovic out even then. Never rule out Novak Djokovic.

    Anderson whittles away a 40-15 lead, a double fault allowing Djokovic back in at deuce. Then the South African crumbles. He lets a return go, only for technology to inform us that it dusted the baseline, then clubs a forehand well wide. Turning point?

    Federer 6-2 6-2 3-1 Agut*

    A masterclass from Federer: feather-soft touch at the net, rasping forehand, deft backhand. The man who has it all clearly wants more. Agut, like many of us mere mortals, does not know how to respond to the greatest of the greats.

  92. Djokovic loses serve

    Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 1-3 Anderson*

    Oh my word. What is going on? Kevin Anderson snatches a couple of break points early in the second set...one goes begging but not the second! A rip-roaring forehand return of serve leaves the Serb scrambling, allowing the South African to move into the net and volley the winner. Court One stunned.

    *Djokovic 6-7 (6-8) 1-2 Anderson

    Novak Djokovic

    Djokovic is not enjoying himself out on Court One this fine London evening. The Serb is rocking, furiously swatting at a vicious Anderson serve which almost knocks him backwards like a skittle at your local bowling lane. Some powerful forehand strokes - after a second serve of 120mph - puts the South African within a point of the game, only for Djokovic to force deuce. But Anderson ramps up the mph again, serving out the game with another ace.

  94. Game and second set

    Federer 6-2 6-2 Agut

    Life just gets easier and easier for Roger Federer. The seven-time champion secures the second set, again a 6-2 procession. Agut receiving treatment on his foot during the changeover.

    Ooohs and aaahs fill the air on Court One as Djokovic and Anderson share mini-breaks in the tie-break - the crowd are getting into this one and they seem to be favouring the under-dog judging from the number of cries of "Come on Kevin!" around me when he reaches set-point for the first time at 6-5. They reach a crescendo when Djoko double-faults at 6-6 and if this place had a roof it would have come off when Anderson banged down an ace to take the first set.

    Well, well, well. The world number one goes a set down. Almost unbelievably Djokovic double faults, teeing up a second set point for Anderson. And he seals it with an ace! The South African 14th seed spanks a thunderous serve out wide to leave Djokovic wafting into thin air.

    Roberto Bautista Agut's evening in the south-west London sun isn't any fun. The Spaniard tumbles down to the ground clutching his ankle - he needs medical treatment. Ooof! Federer saunters round the net to see if his opponent is alright before taking a seat. Medical attention is required...

    *Djokovic 5-5 Anderson

    The serve is still dominating over on Court One - as you would expect from a match showcasing Novak Djokovic's quality and Kevin Anderson's brute force. Novak has barely had a sniff on the South African's serve, unsurprising as he powers down an opener topping 130mph on his way to holding.

    Tim Henman

    Former British number one on BBC TV

    "Even losing the third set Andy Murray did a good job of maintaining his positive energy. When another serve flies past you it is easy to get frustrated because you don't know when a chance will come.

    "Also, when you are playing Karlovic you have to adapt quickly because the serve is coming from such a great height and then it is bouncing up on the hard ground but Murray has the skills and dexterity to adapt to that.

    "To play Pospisil in the quarter-finals is a fantastic draw. Andy will respect him but I expect him to win that one as well."

  129. "Tough match against Pospisil'

    Murray has already beaten Vasek Pospisil, his opponent in the last eight, twice this year. He added: "It's a tough match for me next round. He's playing my brother in the doubles right now. He had a close one with James Ward in the previous round, and came back from two sets to love down today. He'll be feeling good about his game, and it sits well with the grass."

  130. Player reaction - Andy Murray

    More from Andy Murray: "It was mentally tiring, maybe not as tiring physically due to the points being so quick. You've always got to be ready to take your chances. It's about getting the balance right and getting through. It wasn't going to be the best tennis, it was about getting through.

    "I passed well, and when he missed his first serve I returned his second serve well and made it difficult for him."

    But Karlovic picks up a half-volley from his toes for a reprieve, and proceeds to serve and volley to advantage. Another boomer, another trip to tape, more volleying and Karlovic wriggles free.

    Murray not a man to meekly surrender. The British number one wrong-footing Karlovic at the net. Deuce. Ace. Advantage. Spectators breathing easier. Murray prowling at the tape... Karlovic fetching a volley... second volley from the Briton, snappier, lower, and this time it's game over.

    An octogenarian in one row is acting like an excitable Labrador. Another canny return from Murray... Karlovic, at the tape, flat of foot, slow of thought, and he tamely nets. 30-40. Break point Murray.

    But the 26-year-old levels at 30-30, thunderous forehands nicely doing the job. Oops. Murray breaks a string in his racquet on an iffy first serve, he changes his weapon... silence on Centre... Murray in trouble, though. Backhand into the tape. Set point Karlovic.

    And Murray balloons a forehand into the tramlines. Sharp intake of breath from some spectators, Murray smashes his racquet during the changeover. What a surprise.

    "I wonder if Karlovic is a bit tired from the last couple of rounds. A couple of sliced backhands and if he had a bit more energy he would be getting around a bit more. He can move well for a big guy but he is not getting to the net at the moment."

    Supernaturally good from Murray and it's no wonder the crowd are whistling and whooping. We doff our caps to you, Mr Murray. A dipping backhand passing shot gets the better of Karlovic and the Scot then conjures a forehand winner for two break points. Karlovic taps his racquet on the net in mild frustration - he probably wants to kick and scream but keeps his cool and serves his way out of danger.

    The most-asked question to the security guards on Murray Mound? "If I go out to get a drink, can I come back in?" The good news for thirsty fans in this heat is that the answer is yes.

Supreme serving early on from Murray - but the big-hitting Karlovic nicks two points, seeds of doubt being sown, before Karlovic wildly hits a forehand which nearly forces the spectators near the scoreboard to duck.

    Murray drags Karlovic towards the tape, and then ruthlessly beats him down the other wing with a forehand down the line. 30-0 and all is well in Murray's world. But Karlovic ups the ante, ferocious hitting, and the Croat has dragged himself back to contention. 30-30.

    Murray attempts the lob... Murray fails... Murray challenges... Murray fails... Break point Karlovic. Ridiculously good reflex shots from the baseline from Murray when Karlovic seemed in control, and somehow, a flick of the wrist and Karlovic is beaten. Murray survives.

    Both players temporarily left the arena for a toilet break. Murray was the first back and he was playing against fresh air on the baseline, while his opponent made his way back onto the hallowed turf.

    It's a glorious afternoon in SW19 and on a sun-drenched Centre Court Murray and Karlovic are entertaining a full house. Murray levels at 30-30, pouncing on a Karlovic second serve, and the Croat, the world number 25, fails to stoop to his shoelaces, which is understandable as it's quite a distance from head to toe. As has often occurred in this match, Karlovic's serve gets him out of trouble. A monster ace down the T and the underdog holds.

    "Focus," he says as he prepares to strike again at deuce. Feather-soft touch at the net from Karlovic, his volley dropping short of Murray's feet, and to everyone's surprise it's break point Karlovic. The Croat fails to turn the screw, Murray seeing him off from the baseline.

    Lucky then that the five-time Grand Slam champion is always on hand to offer words and looks of encouragement from the side of court 12.

    Hingis, whose mum is part of Bencic's coaching team, looks like a member of the late-naughties nu-rave music scene with her retina-burning luminous green outfit. But it is bad news for the two Swiss misses - Azarenka is a set up.

    Three set points disappear. Brilliant serving from the Croat - a 121mph second serve in the mixer. Surely having such a weapon in the armoury is cheating. There's nothing Murray can do. The Croat concludes the game with an ace down the T and we're into a tie-break.

    A serve into the ribcage followed by an irretrievable volley from Murray causes one woman on Centre to whoop after the opening point. There's better to come, though - the Scot working Karlovic this way and that before passing him with a dreamy backhand towards the corner.

    Karlovic joining this exquisite shot-making party - forming a brick wall at the net before tapping a volley beyond the scampering Scot. Deuce. Worried? A little, but another wondrous passing shot from Murray has the patrons purring. And Murray eventually wraps it up, Karlovic going long.

    Murray

    Karlovic's volleying not on song yet in this match - Murray pouncing on the Croat's second serve and the 36-year-old goes long, long, long. The Briton is on the front foot, a super return of a 125mph beamer and Karlovic, cement in his boots, balloons his forehand long. 0-30 Murray and a ripple of excitement is felt around Centre - but Karlovic is back in contention, level at 30-30, and there's more kick and oomph in those serves now. Four points on the trot. Evens stevens again.

    Murray 3-2 Karlovic*

    Karlovic running to the tape, looking like an ungainly giraffe on roller-skates, and he pushes a volley beyond the baseline. The Croat attempting to outwit his opponent, but he hasn't the trickery of Murray. 30-30 - Karlovic with a tame backhand into the tape, and he then gifts the Scot the hold courtesy of an adrenalized forehand over the baseline. Murray with a spring in his step as he races to his chair.

    Murray, of course, has not lost to Karlovic - four victories on hard courts and one on grass - and he's started the better of the two in this match. Variety in the Murray game; dinking volleys, cute drop shots, working his 36-year-old, hulking opponent around the court and he holds to love.

    *Murray 1-1 Karlovic

    What a sight the Croatian must be at the other side of the net - 6ft 11in, 16 stone, and a monstrous serve. Murray, though, standing a few feet behind the baseline, is one of the game's great returners and nicks two points from the 36-year-old. 30-30. The crowd sense an opportunity.

    Bravo, Murray, bravo. A super backhand return threaded down the line. Break point! An ace to the rescue. Karlovic cannons another boomer down the middle and hits a line judge in the bottom. Centre Court winces. The Croat pulls through, though it's far from convincing.

    Murray 1-0 Karlovic*

    So tall is Ivo Karlovic that he makes the 6ft 3in Murray seem Lilliputian. Aggression from Murray from the get-go and his reward is a routine hold to love.

    There's no need to look up from the laptop to know whether Andy Murray has appeared on Centre. Roars ripple around the famous stadium as the Scot leads the 6ft 11in Karlovic through the green doors and onto a patch of grass that feels like home.

    He drops to his knees in sheer ecstasy, looks up to the heavens and moves like Jagger around a jubilant Canadian-heavy court 12 after beating 22 seed Viktor Troicki.

    You may remember that Pospisil beat Murray's mate James Ward in the last round. I'm sure the Scot will be quizzing him about Pospisil over the dinner table in Wimbledon village tonight - IF he beats Karlovic....

  265. 'Never easy playing a loved one'

    Player reaction

    After beating her sister Venus Williams 6-4 6-3, Serena Williams told BBC TV: "It's never easy to play someone you love and care about, but you just have to stay focused. It's hard to get excited about beating someone you root for all the time, but that's the nature of the competition.

    "I served well today, and that helped me to come through. It doesn't get any easier playing against Venus and I was thinking 'I'm 33 and she's 35 I just wondered how many more times we will get to do this, especially at Wimbledon?'

    "I thought back to when we were kids dreaming of moments like this, and it feels a little surreal."

    Serena with 40-0 and three game points to bask in and hit out at it.

    She slaps a forehand wide on the first. Venus was not getting there if it was another half metre closer in.

    Boom! A serve crashes down at 121 mph. Was it in? Everyone looks at each other a little bemused. The linejudge stays silent, and the one person who could challenge her - Venus - keeps her arms by her side.

  271. Serena breaks

    *Serena 6-4 4-3 Venus

    Is this the tipping point, the twist in the tale, the pivot of the plot?

    Venus sees off one break point from 30-40, but has another to deal with from deuce.

    Serena is pawing the floor on return, licking her lips at the prospect of a second serve. And Venus cracks.

    Trying to bury her serve somewhere in the box where Serena won't find it, Venus clouts metres long. Ugly. And the scoreboard is not looking too pretty either for Williams major.

    Serena in a sniff of danger at 30-30 having missed her first serve.

    But her second is an absolute whopper, Serena shoved all her chips onto the table with that one. Venus is playing catch-up during the rest of the rally and sees the ball zip down the line and past her for a winner.

    40-30. Another brute of a serve. Venus parries, but parrying does not do the bizzo against Serena. Blammo! A high forehand bounce is taught what for.

As Andy Murray soaks up the frenzied acclaim on his way out of the practice courts, his giant last-16 opponent Ivo Karlovic slopes in unnoticed just a few yards behind the Briton. The big-serving Croat is the Howard Donald to Murray's Robbie Williams. But he'll Take That (sorry) if he manages to upset the odds on Centre Court later.

    However, his bulky 6ft 11in frame doesn't escape the eagle-eyes of a few Murray fans - who flinch as one of his huge 130-plus mph smashes into the fence that they're peering through.

    Venus gets one to skid through sharpish, Serena parries back over the net, but is in no position to get to Venus' drop volley.

    Venus comes on strong to see her way through from deuce. That could be key. She was on a slippery slope had she been broken at the start of the second as well as the first.

He wears his heart on his sleeve and everyone can see what is going on. He is not focused and settled and he looks like he just wants to get home."

    Gasquet 7-5 6-1 Kyrgios

    Nick Kyrgios bows out of the second set with a lazy backhand wide.

    Is that whatever was bothering him out of his system?

    Jonathan Nasir: Gasquet needs to keep a grip on this match - with Kyrgios anything can happen.

    Sam Barker: Kyrgios showing his age and immaturity right now. Very poor attitude and sportsmanship in this second set.

    "There's been far too much negativity from Kyrgios, but there's a glimmer of hope as he finally remembers what it feels like to hold serve. It gives him chance to serve first in the third set."

    *Gasquet 7-5 5-1 Kyrgios

    Walking away serves, slapping returns straight back into the net, sarcastically applauding the umpire -Nick Kyrgios has been been on a kamikaze mission in this second set.

    He finally gets on the board with a service game, but he is giving himself a mountain to climb.

    Shouldn't coach Jonas Bjorkman be serving to Andy Murray from behind the baseline? Nope, not when he is trying to replicate the huge serve of the Briton's last-16 opponent Ivo Karlovic.

    The Croat 23rd seed has blasted down 136 aces in his first three matches - and hit the fastest recorded serve of 156mph in 2011.

    Wowzers. Let's hope Bjorkman has demolished an energy-boosting breakfast this morning...

    "The tennis purists struggle to admire Kyrgios, but there are a lot of others who like him, because of the energy he brings to the game.

    "It is important for Wozniacki to play in an attacking style. She fell down to 18 in the world rankings playing defensively, and for me she is a player who needs to be more offensive to be at her best.

    "Muguruza is an inexperienced player in this type of situation, but she's got a big serve with power off both sides so she will provide a challenge.

    "But this is a big chance for Wozniacki, who has never been past the fourth round here. That is surprising for a former world number one."

    "Karlovic is one of those players the seeds look to keep well away from in the early rounds because of his serve. But now he has three games in his legs, at 36-years-old he might be feeling it a little bit more.

    "He's not going to be putting too much pressure on Andy Murray's serve, but he's one of the toughest guys in the game to break. Andy is one of the best-ever returners the game has ever seen, and he almost wants Karlovic to serve even harder than he normally does, so he can use the angles against him. For me it's a one in 10 chance for Karlovic to win."

    Here's our first glimpse of Andy Murray on week two. The world number three sneaks on to practice court one - but he's quickly spotted by the throngs of home fans pressing their noses through the green mesh fence overlooking. A huge cheer greets the Scot, who reciprocates with a grin and a wave.

    A quick pow-wow, including some stretches and jokes, with Jonas Bjorkman and Amelie Mauresmo then they get down to business.

  350. Flashback

    Serena Williams

    The last time that Venus and Serena Williams shared a court at Wimbledon it was, well, all a little weird.

    The sisters were playing German Kristina Barrois and Swiss Stefanie Voegele in the second round of the doubles last year.

    Serena had already stumbled through the knock-up, dropping balls tossed to her by the ball boys and struggling to get the ball over the net, before she gifted the third game of the match to her opponents with four straight double faults.

    The Williams sisters pulled out of the match with Serena blaming a virus for her struggles.

    All eyes still on Serena on a packed court six, where people are craning their necks to get a glimpse of the five-time champion. This is a pretty popular part of SW19 at the moment because behind her and only a few yards away on court 10, Maria Sharapova is also out having a hit.

    She is drawing crowds too, obviously. By the way, those two won't get to share a court unless they both reach the semi-finals.

    "It's a new week and we've got a change in the type of weather. The hot and humid air of last week has gone and the start of this week will be cooler than of late.

    "Although it'll turn cloudy for a time today, there'll still be some good sunny spells with a maximum temperature of around 23°C. Tuesday will prove more disruptive with showers in the forecast."

    Andy Murray has a double practice session planned for today, blocking-booking two half-hour slots on the practice courts ahead of his meeting with Ivo Karlovic.

    How do you prepare for the Croatian to rain down serves like thunderbolts from the Greek gods?

    "I usually have my coach or whoever it is I'm hitting with stand just behind the service line and basically just serve from there and try to react," said the Scot

    "I ask them to try and ace me for 10 minutes so I get used to seeing the ball go past me, and also reacting to a serve coming at me from that height."

    It's a bit like getting Mitchell Johnson to run in, stride past the crease and deliver bouncers from halfway down the track.

    Ivo Karlovic has a field gun of a serve. The Croatian has slapped down the third-fastest tee-off in history and leads the ace stats by a country mile for this year's tournament.

    Murray's return reflexes will need to at their cat-like best. We expect them on court from about 14:20 BST.
