It's a win in 4 sets for the Djokovic/Murray partnership, so it's a 100% record so far for the dynamic duo.

British no 1 Katie Boulter beaten in 3 sets, as her woeful record in Grand Slams continues, never been passed the 3rd round in any major.

Jack Draper through to the 4th round after winning a final set tie break 10-8, next he plays Carlos Alcaraz.

And he's played 3 straight 5 setters.  He will be knackered.

I'm at the Kecmanovic - Rune match. The most interesting thing is that there's a guy in the crowd opposite me wearing a Villa shirt.

Unwisely stopped up late to watch Raducanu win just one game, to say she was bad, would be a massive understatement. She seemed resigned to defeat almost after her serve was broken for the first time, never showed any fight and had 22 unforced errors in the 13 games played.

Draper only Brit now left standing.

Sadly Jack Draper 2 sets down against Alcaraz has had to retire. If Djokovic wins he's next match later today, then he plays Alcaraz, which should be a match worth watching.

Sinner chewing De Minaur up slowly here. Overall not the same level as Djokovic-Alvarez, but Sinner's hitting so heavy, does he need to be?

Brilliant from Sinner, losing just 6 games against a top 10 player, can't see anyone stopping him now.

Yeah he'll have too much for Shelton, who I thought had one of the most fun matches of the tournament (maybe the most fun) against Sonego, but who'll very likely find that a sense of fun doesn't get you anywhere against Sinner.

Good to see the Swiatek lose, there is something very unlikeable about her.

Is it the drugs?

It predates that.

Wasn't expecting that, fantastic Madison Keys.
