Emma Raducanu's loss to Kiwi qualifier Lulu Sun means there are no Brits remaining in either the women's or men's singles draws at Wimbledon.
It is shaping up as a tournament full of surprises in the women's draw with four of the top five seeds out before the quarter-finals – third seed Elena Rybakina will look to avoid that being five from five when she meets Anna Kalinskaya in round four tomorrow.
In the men's draw, all of the top five seeds are still going strong and it looks like we're set for an intriguing second week.
We'll be across all the action for you once again tomorrow but, for now, here are today's big stories for you to catch up on:
We've had two retirements today. On Court One, a tearful Madison Keys had to retire after sustaining what appeared to be a hamstring injury against Italian seventh seed Jasmine Paolini.
The American received medical treatment but was unable to continue with the score locked at 6-3 6-7 (6-8) 5-5.

More from Emma Navarro:
On beating two former champions on Centre Court this tournament:
"It’s an amazing court, probably my favourite court I have ever played on.
"The fans, the atmosphere, the grass is amazing. Having my family and my team watch me, it’s so special. Thank you guys."
Her thoughts on her next opponent, Roland Garros finalist Jasmine Paolini:
"She’s a great player. She’s not an easy out and always puts up a great fight to the end, so I think it’s going to be a great match and I’m really excited."
Navarro 6-4 6-3 Gauff
Let's hear from Emma Navarro who has beaten the second seed Coco Gauff to reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon:
Your thoughts on the win:
"I don’t know I don’t have a ton of words but just really grateful to be out here on Centre Court. A tournament with so much history and tradition that so many legends have played on before- it’s a real honour.
"Thank you guys for coming out to watch and I can’t wait to play again."
What was your game plan?
"I think I played really aggressively. Coco’s obviously an amazing player and I have a ton of respect for her and what she’s done at such a young age is amazing.
"I knew she wasn’t going to make it easy on me tonight but I wanted to play aggressively and push back against her game and I think I was able to do that."
