The women’s singles take centre stage at Wimbledon on Tuesday as we approach the business end of the third Grand Slam of the season.

An all-American clash gets us underway on Centre Court, as Alison Riske takes on Serena Williams, before home hope Johanna Konta plays Barbora Strycova.

On Court No.1, Simona Halep — who knocked out 15-year-old sensation Coco Gauff on Monday — plays Zhang Shuai for a place in the semi-finals. Then, Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina takes on Karolina Muchova.

There will also be plenty of doubles action, with Andy Murray and Serena Williams in action later in the day.

*Riske 4-6 6-4 1-2 Williams (30-40)

From 0-30, Serena nets two makable forehand returns in a row, but Riske slips at 30-30 out wide, effectively handing Williams the point... BREAK POINT

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 14:43

*Riske 4-6 6-4 1-2 Williams (40-40)

BREAK POINT SAVED!

Riske is lucky with a net cord, but Williams goes wide crosscourt on her forehand...

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 14:44

Riske 4-6 6-4 1-3 Williams*

WILLIAMS BREAKS!

Oh Ali! A missed forehand into the net, followed by a double fault, gifts the game and the break to Williams!

Riske had game point in that as well, but she missed with a forehand down the line...

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 14:46

*Riske 4-6 6-4 2-3 Williams

RISKE BREAKS!

Riske wins three points on the trot from 40-15, and then clinches the game with a backhand winner cross court! 

Blimey, this match keeps twisting and turning so quickly - what next?!

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 14:50

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 14:50

*Riske 4-6 6-4 2-3 Williams (40-40)

Riske continuing to take it to Serena, but then she double faults at 40-30!

Feeling the pressure, just a little bit...

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 14:55

Riske 4-6 6-4 3-3 Williams*

RISKE HOLDS!

Big hold that. A backhand down the line winer does the job again, right in the corner... Serena an onlooker like the rest of us. 

Three apiece,

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 14:56

*Riske 4-6 6-4 3-4 Williams

Williams holds to love as she finds her range on her first serve.

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 14:59

*Riske 4-6 6-4 3-4 Williams (15-40)

Riske misjudges the flight of the ball on the first point, and never really recovers. 

Serena caresses a backhand down the line, but then slices into the net on the run. 

Yet Serena comes back to hit a forehand winner crosscourt, almost effortlessly! TWO BREAK POINTS...

Kieran Jackson9 July 2019 15:02

*Riske 4-6 6-4 3-4 Williams (40-40)

TWO BREAK POINTS SAVED!

Two netted returns from Serena, one makable, one not, and we're at deuce.
