Showtime Steinberg – that’s actually my kid’s name. Anyway the stars have arrived. Rafael Nadal against Joao Sousa, conqueror of a devastated Dan Evans, on Centre Court. Serena Williams against the tough Spaniard, Carla Suarez Navarro, on Court 1.
Quite the streak from Barbora Strycova out on Court 12. The Czech veteran was 6-4, 5-2 down to Elise Mertens, but has won the last eight games to lead in the deciding set. China’s Zhang Shuai is through to the quarter-finals; she’s beaten Dayana Yastremska 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 and will pay Simona Halep or Coco Gauff next.
And with that, I’ll hand you back to Jacob ‘Showtime’ Steinberg as the show courts get under way …
