All the latest news from Thursday’s live action at SW19, where the strawberries are plentiful, the grass is pristine, and the drama is served with a side of tension.

Order of play has Sinner battling past Borges, while Mail Katy provides the color. At 4-3 in the second, Shnaider makes it 0-40, with Samsonova saving the first break point via a forehand ushered to the corner and the second with a serve out wide and a tidy clean-up. But when a return - thudded flat and dangerously close to the baseline - arrives, the response falls long, leaving the French Open semi-finalist to serve for a decider at 4-6 5-3.

We get going on No1 at 1pm BST, 1.30pm on Centre, but before that, there are close matches on 12 and 18. Samsonova holds her own against Shnaider, who beat Sabalenka (admittedly with some help from Sabalenka herself) en route to the semis at Roland Garros, leading 6-4 3-3 and refusing to wilt despite her opponent’s improvement. Meanwhile, Fery - whom our commentators reckon has the ability to break the top 20 - trails Virtanen 5-7 4-4. And De Minaur has just served out a 6-2 set to lead Mannarino 2-0, because someone has to make it look easy.
