*Popyrin 5-4 Djokovic
Novak Djokovic challenges after his forehand is called out at the end of a lengthy rally. The call was good, though. It was an inch or so out.
Popyrin 5-3 Djokovic*
Novak Djokovic responds with a hold to love, sealed with a big serve.
Alexei Popyrin is going to have to serve for the set. Or can Djokovic find something?
Popyrin 5-3 Djokovic*
Well Novak Djokovic can no longer complain about the sun hampering his vision as the whole of Centre Court is now in the shade.
Alexei Popyrin takes a routine hold to consolidate that break.

Centre Court absolutely loved that passing shot from Alexei Popyrin as he gets an early break against Novak Djokovic.
Do we have a match on our hands here?
Rybakina 3-0 Wozniacki*
Some start for Elena Rybakina as she breaks Caroline Wozniacki's serve at the earliest opportunity.
A straightforward hold consolidates it. The Kazakh has very quickly taken control of this first set.
*Popyrin 4-3 Djokovic
Novak Djokovic is having a little rant up towards his box. He's not happy.
*Popyrin 4-3 Djokovic

Alexei Popyrin hit the backhand really well and beat Novak Djokovic with pace.
I don't think that's something he has seen so far.
Poor game from Novak. Alexei has got a great forehand on the run, lots of power.
*Popyrin 4-3 Djokovic
Now then. Alexei Popyrin has a break point opportunity after hitting a thumping backhand.
Then what a shot!
Out of nowhere Novak Djokovic struggles to meet the volley then Popyrin sends a punishing cross-court forehand whistling past the Serb to take the break.
Well, we didn't see that one coming.

Popyrin 3-3 Djokovic*
Alexei Popyrin finally takes a tricky hold, advancing into the net and executing a powerful forehand.
That's the first game that's been a bit of a struggle for either player but Popyrin has still not faced a break point.
*Popyrin 2-3 Djokovic
Super touch at the net from Alexei Popyrin at deuce and he again tries to come into the net on the next point but Novak Djokovic just picks him off and sends the backhand passing shot to the corner.
*Popyrin 2-3 Djokovic
Since that non-challenge Alexei Popyrin has just lost his way a touch.
But Novak Djokovic misses the forehand at deuce and it looks like he's blaming the sun in his eyes. There is just a small patch of sunlight that remains on court.
*Popyrin 2-3 Djokovic
Alexei Popyrin uses the serve and volley to good effect then sends down what he thinks is an ace but it's called out. He thinks about asking the question but decides against it. He should've challenged! Replays show it was in fact in.
Rybakina v Wozniacki
Fourth seed Elena Rybakina made hard work of her second round match against Laura Siegemund before coming through to win 6-3 3-6 6-3.
The 2022 champion has been in great form this year but an abdominal issue forced her to retire in Berlin ahead of these Championships.
She'll hope to show she is back to her best and ready to challenge for the title again as she takes on former world number one Caroline Wozniacki.
The Dane had a very tough second round match herself as she saved two match points before beating Canada's Leylah Fernandez, the 30th seed, 6-3 2-6 7-5 on Court One.
She's back there today with the opportunity to match her previous best at the All England Club.
*Popyrin 2-3 Djokovic
Pat Cash

Novak Djokovic will be aiming to keep Alexei Popyrin off balance with a variety of serves.
Medvedev 6-1 6-3 4-6 7-6 (7-3) Struff
He was made to work for it but Daniil Medvedev is through to round four after beating Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff.
The fifth seed raced through the first set and was comfortable enough in the second but Struff came out fighting to take the third.
Medvedev, a semi-finalist last year, was then taken to a tie-break at the end of a tight fourth set before his class shone through.
*Popyrin 2-3 Djokovic
Novak Djokovic drops his first point on serve, smashing his forehand into the net.
A big serve puts him back on track as Alexei Popyrin can only send it skewing wide. As it stands it's not very clear how the tall Australian is going to find the break.
Popyrin 2-2 Djokovic*
Alexei Popyrin closes out another hold with a big ace. We remain on serve on Centre Court.
Haddad Maia 4-6 Collins
Over on court three, Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia was leading 4-0 against Danielle Collins. And then the rain set in…
American 11th seed Collins must have given herself one almighty pep talk during the break in play because she's come out an altogether different player, winning six consecutive games to take the set 6-4.
*Popyrin 1-2 Djokovic
Novak Djokovic keeps rubbing his eyes. Is he struggling with a bit of hayfever? Even the great man is not immune to the menace that is pollen.
It can't be bothering him too much, he takes another hold to love.
