Murray was also in men's doubles action alongside Pierre-Hugues Herbert earlier in the day. Elsewhere eight-time champ Federer continued his march to what he hopes will be another All England title while Nadal faced Jo Wilfried Tsonga in the match of the day on Centre Court.

COURT 17 RESULT
Sam Querrey is through to the fourth round - he's won in straight sets against Australian John Millman, 7-6(3) 7-6(8) 6-3.
*Williams 1-1 Goerges
The American’s knee looks to be holding up as she bursts forward from the baseline to meet a light chip from Goerges, sending it back over the net with a well-placed forehand winner.
But, at 40-0, Williams can’t capitalise, with the German biting back to claim the next five points and secure the game.
COURT 3 RESULT
Kei Nishikori has also come through in straight sets against Steve Johnson, 6-4 6-3 6-2.
Andy Murray is out on court 2, warming up with partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert. They're playing 6th seeds Franko Skugor and Nikola Mektic.
Harriet Dart is also out on Centre Court - she's just got underway against world number 1 Ash Barty.
Williams 3-2 Goerges*
We remain on serve here on Court 1. Both women going through the motions as they look to make that crucial breakthrough. Williams is looking far more commanding but, to her credit, Goerges is giving as good as she gets - particularly on her serves, some of which have surpassed 110mph.
