Report: Unseeded Frenchman Gael Monfils tamed the power of American Sam Querrey to reach the Wimbledon fourth round for the first time on Friday, having previously fallen six times in the third round.
It looked like being a familiar story for the 31-year-old when 11th seed Querrey bombed down nine aces to win the opening set but crowd-pleaser Monfils responded with some dazzling tennis to win 5-7 6-4 6-4 6-2 on Centre Court.
Monfils levelled the match with an ace of his own after breaking for a 5-3 lead in the second set.
A forehand pass gave him the breakthrough midway through the third set and Querrey's resistance faded in the heat as Monfils raced through the fourth set in 23 minutes.
He will face eighth seed Kevin Anderson next.
The good news for the Williams family: Venus has just on a second set tie-break 7-5 to take her match with Kiki Bertens into a third set.
The bad news: Sister Serena has made a poor start on Centre Court and trails Kristina Mladenovic 3-2 in the first set.
On Centre Court, it's on serve in the second set.
Serena Williams won the first against Kristina Mladenovic 7-5.
Five-time champion Venus Williams has lost in the third round at Wimbledon, beaten 6-2 6-7 (5/7) 8-6 by Dutch 20th seed Kiki Bertens.
Sister Serena, meanwhile, leads 7-5 5-4 in her match against Kristina Mladenovic. It's been a similarly tough one for her but will she be making an equally early exit as well?
Britain's Cameron Norrie and Jay Clarke lost a five-hour marathon in the men's doubles at Wimbledon.
The duo, both first-round casualities in the singles, paired up to face Marcelo Arevalo and Hans Podlipnik-Castillo in the opening round.
Norrie and Clarke dropped the first set but edged the next two to take the lead, only for Arevalo and Podlipnik-Castillo to haul themselves level.
The fifth set then lasted an amazing two hours and 23 minutes in front of a packed Court 14, with Norrie and Clarke agonisingly edged out 22-20.
Serena Williams was given a thorough workout but made it through to the second week.
The seven-time champion beat Kristina Mladenovic 7-5 7-6 (7/2) just minutes after her sister Venus went out.
Mladenovic served for the first set, but Williams survived and then stepped up in the second-set tiebreak to move into the fourth round.
Federer 3-2 Struff
The Swiss is struggling to recreate the form that saw him cruise to victory in the second round. There's a degree of frustration creeping into his game as he attempts to get to grips with his 6ft 5in German opponent.
