Madison Keys is the highest-seeded woman in early action today. The American is on Court 12 where she's playing Luksika Kumkhum of Thailand. That match is currently 3-3 in the first set.

It's not such good news for Swan who has been broken for the second time in as many service games over on No.3 Court. Buzarnescu is dominating this set. The Brit will need something special in the second if she's to salvage something from this match.

Raonic's first set with Millman has gone to a tiebreaker. The Canadian is dominating with his service - he's already hit 15 aces - but his opponent is giving as good as he gets.

Samuel Lovett4 July 2018 12:20

Swan has taken a bit of a battering in that first set; she went down 6-0. Buzarnescu in full control as we head into the second set.

My colleague is that much of a Roger Federer fan-boy that he's decided to rank and rate every one of the Swiss's exceptionally similar all-white Nike kits. Because why the hell not? Amazing stuff.

Top British sports stars attending Wimbledon will not be offered a place to watch England's World Cup quarter-final against Sweden on Saturday.

Wimbledon traditionally invites household name sporting personalities to sit in the Royal Box on Centre Court on the middle Saturday of the tournament.

Organisers at the All England Club have stuck steadfastly to plans not to screen World Cup matches this year.

It's understood no provision will be made within the hospitality areas for any of Saturday's special guests to take in the football.

Swan has managed to break her opponent in the second yet but she's yet to hold serve. Buzarnescu currently leading 6-0 3-1, with victory surely set to be wrapped up shortly.

After winning the first set through a tiebreaker, Raonic is serving to hold in the second, with the score currently 3-2. There's little to separate the two - apart from the Canadian's big service. He's on 20 aces for the moment.

A first break in the Raonic-Millman clash, and it's the Canadian who took it. With three break points, he was simply sublime as he knocked his opponent about from the baseline before rushing to the T after sending the Aussie wide. A quick back-and-forth followed, with Raonic finally landing the point (and the break) with a soft, stooped dink over the net. Cracking stuff. He leads 4-3 and is currently serving to pull ahead.
