Good morning and welcome to our live coverage from Wimbledon.
Defending champion Djokovic opens proceedings against David Goffin of Belgium before eight-time champion Federer continues his campaign against Kei Nishikori on Centre Court.
Rafael Nadal also returns, this time on Court One, where he takes on big serving Sam Querrey.
And don't forget Serena Willians and Andy Murray with the superstar mixed doubles pairing back in action.
We'll have all the latest throughout the day.
Here is today's order of play, with two quarter-finals on Centre Court and two on Court No 1, while Andy Murray and Serena Williams play their third round mixed doubles match on Court 2.
The Independent columnist Nick Bollettieri has hid his say on Jo Konta's exit from the tournament yesterday:
For what it's worth, my prediction is Pella v Bautista Agut will go to five sets, and thus will be the match of the day.
Novak Djokovic and David Goffin are out on Centre Court warming up ahead of their quarter-final!
