Draper and Evans win, Boulter knocked out, but the big shock is Alcaraz losing to world no 74 Van de Zandschulp in straight sets.

Very impressive win for Ben Shelton beating Bautisa Agut in straight sets, didn't drop a point in the final set on his serve, could be a player that will go a long way in the tournament.
Or maybe not, that was superb from Tiafoe.

Another shock Djokovic knocked out, so no majors for him this year, only the second time this has happened since 2009, perhaps age, 37, is finally starting to catch up with him.

Jack Draper through to the last 16, after beating Alcaraz's conqueror very comfortably in 3 sets.

He didn't just win, he blew the other bloke away.

Brilliant stuff from Jack, completely outplayed a top 10 player. Sinner or Medvedev next, hopefully their match is a very long 5 setter!

Will be tough either way, but can't complain as Alcaraz was in this side of the draw.

Much better from Fritz in the 3rd set, but Sinner just too good, brilliant stuff.

No more line judges at Wimbledon, as the all England club has decided to adopt electronic line calling from next year. How long will it be before the umpires will be robots? :)
